I don't know about all yall but most of the fish you mentioned is pretty much the only fish I can get at my local grocery store.

Lobster, Crab, Shrimp, fresh caught Catfish, Bluegill, Crappie, Cod, Halibut, Fresh wild Salmon, Clams, Yummy.... Love all Seafood. It is healthy and a great source of protein.

I love how for years we have been told overfishing is going to push species to extinction but now we shouldn't eat farm grown fish because it is dangerous and go back to eating wild caught just like the power company have said for years to use less electricity but now that we "ARE" they petition for rate increases every year because we are using less

We call king Mackerel kingfish in the Caribbean and its one of everyone's favorite Fish to eat...

You want wild-caught salmon? Buy it from a can! Almost all canned salmon is wild-caught, while that filet you are paying 10 times more for is probably farmed and dyed that nice orange color.

Well, for rich people, they have a choice! all i can say is, just be grateful and pray when you have a chance to eat such delicious foods and think about those who laboured hard for you to have it, pray for those who have none on their table... at the end of the day wether a person is eating healthy or not one day our body will rest and die!!! so enjoy each moment whenever you have a chance!

Great information!! I'm not an ichthyologist but my father was the largest seafood distributor in the region where I live.
I've noticed since I was a kid in the 1960s, that the seafood of today that the public is consuming often has names I never heard of. My father brought home the best of the best. I see what people are eating and it is so frustrating. I don't trust seafood from Asia. People also forget that shellfish is not fish, it is a crustacean. Again, Thank You for educating the public. Too often, affordable cheap fish is cheap for a reason. Homework, Homework!!

With this information on fish it looks like we'd have to avoid all fish, .But I myself I love all seafood I'm a seafood lover so it'll be a little hard for me not to eat fish and it is still a good source of omega-3s, oil.

This is why I prefer to catch my regional fresh water fish & crustaceans with the hook up from my costal family when I want to make a 10 hour drive to visit them for a few days. Besides eating the delicious Louisiana cuisine there 😋.

Mercury in fish is obviously a very serious problem. When the surgery I attend has a leaflet warning about it, I began to realize how serious it is.

Shrimp is a cock roach that lives in the sea.... crab is a spider, lobster is a insect that live in water .

Now that you’ve told us what fish not to eat, how about enlightening us with the best fish TO eat?

The distinction between fish and other seafood is strong.

[Bruintjebeer]

I only eat shrimps from Norway or the Netherlands fresh out of the North Sea

05:32 Here in Hawaii, Tilapia is considered a gross fish to eat because of the fact it will eat anything.

As a former biologist, when did shrimp become fish? Shrimp are in Phylum Arthropoda, not Chordata like fish.

[PUNKinDRUBLIC]

Tuna has more mercury than most seafood.
