[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If everyone ate wild caught there would be such low supply and essentially unaffordable to a large swath of the population. What’s better? (Not being snarky, serious question.)[/quote]
This is very true.  The Monterrey Bay Aquarium has a list of fish that you should eat that are farm raised because of that fishes dwinding population. But they don't tell you which fishes have high levels of toxins from being farmed.

To the vegan PP, you do understand that there are many people who cannot grow their own food, not just because they don't have the land but because it actually takes a lot of time and money to do this.  We have a large vegetable garden, and it's  a time and money sucker, but we ejoy it.

And most vegans don't get enough protein.  We have friends who were vegetarians, and they realized that their child was not getting enough protein so they started to eat....fish.[/quote]

The Monterey Bay Aquarium does have a rating for chemical use. Also pathogens and feed quality among a lot of other environmental metrics. It's a great site and has been continually improved over years!

Spoiler - the best atlantic salmon are those raised in an indoor recirculating tank with wastewater treatment. [/quote]
that's good to know. They used to hand out little cards that indicated which ones were ok to consume wild caught and which ones you should eat farm raised.

The problem witht their list is how do you know which brand gets their fish from such farms?[/quote]
