Fishing for a new favorite fish
Posted: Mon Jun 25, 2012 1:16 pm
My recent confession that my favorite fish is Atlantic Farmed Salmon spawned lots of feedback and got me to further research the pros (very few) and cons (lots) for eating that fish. So now, I'm on a quest to find a new favorite fish. One that will be healthy to eat, and not impact the environment.
This past weekend, we were in Hilton Head Island for a conference and I ordered Tile Fish, which I enjoyed immensely. That wonderful meal lead me to learn more about it in case it was another "bad" fish and dammit, it is, according to the EDF website. http://apps.edf.org/page.cfm?tagID=1540 For years, I have been giving Len a hard time about eating Swordfish (which he loves), and the night I had the Tile Fish he had Wahoo and loved it and now we see it's not recommended either. It's very frustrating. We love seafood, and know it's good for our arteries and waistline, but it's hard to find good seafood that is first and foremost FRESH, and just as important, HEALTHY. Arctic Char intriques me but I don't think I have ever seen it for sale anywhere.
Take a look at the link and check out your favorite fish. See what the EDF says about it, and if it's "Eco-Best" let me know, okay?
