Fish list: what happened?

Jul 27, 2006 01:44

The Fish List is gone. Or at least its home page is, and points back to the Seafood Choices site. The list itself remains, but I don't know when it was last updated ( Read more... )

fish, environment, commerce, conservation, consumerism, tag, eating, health, food, publichealth

We try to abide by the Seafood Watch list at the restaurant, but find that the Monterey Bay group is highly biased towards the west coast.

Don't they have separate, regionalized lists?

I didn't know there are web site like that existed... It's make sense. I personally try to eat wild Alaskan salmons most of the time. I heard they are less contaminated than other kind of fish. Also eating Omega-3 / DHA eggs has somewhat same health benefit as eating fish and to me they are tastier that regular eggs.

Yeah, farmed fish have less nutrients in them and they're pretty destructive environmentally. They're just cheaper. Plus, the wild ones taste a lot better!

I have been interested since reading The Omnivore's Dilemna by Michael Pollan which I recommend! It's a great book about food and where it comes from and why. It's argumentative and you may disagree with stuff but it's fascinating.

Also What to Eat by Marion Nestle, which is an excellent basic book on nutrition that's full of cool facts.
