How many times per week do you/your family eat fish?

[Anonymous]

Twice a week at least. I am a big seafood person

This. A friend got a package of salmon from WF that was crawling with worms. I cannot unsee that.

Eat seafood (shrimp) several times a week but not fish

1-2 times a week. We order frozen seafood on a monthly subscription, and supplement with canned tuna/salmon/clams or special orders when we want something different from the regular subscription rotation. Also get sushi maybe once a month.

Lots of salmon (grilled, baked, pan-seared, broiled), cod (parchment baked, baked with a breadcrumb crust, occasionally battered and fried as a special treat), halibut (same preparation as cod), mahi mahi (fish tacos, lemon-butter-herb sauce), clam chowder, whole branzini (grilled), shrimp (pasta dishes, stir fry), ahi tuna (poke bowls or seared rare - one of our fastest dinners!).

Wild-caught fish are more susceptible to roundworms due to the fact that they interact with an external ecosystem, while farmed fish are segregated from the wild and are fed pellets treated for parasites. So just buy farm raised.

Uh many farm raised fish are given antibiotics and food coloring for color (pink salmon) and swim around in their own waste. Some also interact with the surrounding ecosystem because they are in nets or pens in the wild, not pools on land. Sea lice outbreaks can be a problem.

How many times per week? Is it mostly for health reasons?

7xs+/week. Mostly because it is delicious compared to pork. Shrimp, crab, salmon, tilapia, mussels, oysters, lobster, eel/unagi, shad, blue fish, sole, haddock/pollack/imitation, sea bass, catfish, mini whitefish/swiss anchovy, anchovy/worchestershire/thai fish sauce, etc. So many flavors and so easy--watch the mercury/sodium on tuna/tuna salad/swordfish! Fish oil is an easy weight gainer for winter and great for the brain!

Which is the good stuff, and which is the bad stuff?

I don’t buy supermarket or pre-frozen fish. Only fresh from my favorite fishmonger.

NP here. In my mind, the good stuff is the expensive stuff: halibut, all kinds of bass. The bad stuff is like catfish and tilapia, which kind of stink. My kids won't eat either unless I hide them in a heavy sauce, like Vietnamese style caramel fish sauce.

A lot. I'm basically pescatarian. The rest of the family is indifferent, but I'm 100% the cook.

Salmon, shrimp, tilapia, cod, scallops, smoked fish. I do more than just put a piece of fish on the the plate though- we liked blackened fish or grilled shrimp tacos, crab cakes, salmon burgers, pasta with scallops, etc.

Which sub do you use?

[Anonymous]

About once every two weeks I go out for sushi. That's about it. I don't like most cooked fish.

Usually 2-3x a week. We usually do a salmon once a week - either as a simply baked filet or a salmon cake. Then usually wild cod or another white fish another evening. Whee we n we do salmon cakes as make a lot and use the leftovers for another night that week too.

[Anonymous]

salmon and calamari 1x each per week. Sushi 2x per month. Kids used to have fish sticks weekly, which I think sort of counts. I often choose fish when we eat out too.

once every 2 weeks-

Twice a week - salmon one night, and either shrimp or tilapia another night.
