In terms of produce I prefer to buy from local farmers. My farmers market peeps are honest. They will say "no pesticides - not organic certified" and you can ask them exactly how they manage their fields. The certification process can be excruciating and as noted above "organic" is a fluid term.. Fish similarly - know your supplier who also knows his provider. I know exactly where my fish come from and they will tell me openly the status and provenance. PS: went to school with the boys
