Ratings consultations
Transparency and credibility are important to the Good Fish Guide. After we’ve researched and drafted a set of ratings updates, we put them out to consultation.
Ratings consultations are open twice per year, in February and August. We welcome feedback from anyone with technical insight and information that could contribute to the comprehensiveness and quality of our ratings.
After consultations have closed, we consider and respond to all feedback, which is kept anonymous. We then finalise and publish our new and updated ratings on all the Good Fish Guide platforms.
There are two ratings launches each year, in October and April.
Please contact ratings@mcsuk.org to be added to the Ratings Consultation mailing list to be notified when consultations open.
Summer Ratings Review
The next ratings review will be ready for consultation in early August 2025.
