Seafood Watch

Last night we had wild caught Alaskan salmon (from frozen fish section at Super Target, half salmon fillet serves 6 for 6.99) We had gotten away from eating fish, but is now our intention to eat fish once per week. There are a lot of concerns about fish-among them mercury levels and environmental impact. I found Seafood Watch recommendations and that is where we will start.

Seafood choices, that we like, from Seafood Watch (Monterey Bay Aquarium) recommendations: US/ Canadian shrimp, Bay or wild sea scallops, farm raised catfish, wild caught Alaskan salmon, US snapper, Pacific halibut, Pacific wild flounder/ sole, whiting and Pacific Cod.

Our food supply is so much more complicated than it was generations ago. It is important to make good choices and to be well informed about what we are eating and feeding our families. Your health depends on it.

  1. I LOVE fish but Gordon is allegic to most of it so I don't eat it as much as I'd like to........He CAN eat shrimp, scallops, oysters, crab, tuna and Salmon.........so I need to plan on cooking more of those this year as well.
