TUAW's Daily App: Seafood Watch

Here's another Daily App choice that's a little more practical than a lot of the games we've been covering lately. Seafood Watch is an app updated with information about fish from all over the world, letting you see at a glance where the fish you're eating probably came from and not only how nutritious it is for you, but how good for the environment as well.

The app is designed by the Monterey Bay Aquarium, and finding information about the fish on your table or at your supermarket is as easy as pulling up a guide to browse, doing a search for the fish name or even checking around your location.

Plus, as New Year's Eve is tonight, there's even a sushi guide. So when the sushi gets passed around a little before midnight, you can take a look at the guide and know exactly where that sashimi came from. Seafood Watch is a free download from the App Store for the iPhone. Have a safe and happy New Year's Eve tonight!

This is one of my favorite apps, it is very handy so that I don't need to locate their printed version of the guide every few months as it's updated. I just download it.

The only problem I find with this in the casual usage I do, is that it only really handles the US (or North America, if you stretch it a bit). If there were a guide that at least handled Europe and the UK it would be much more useful for me.
