Tips on Buying Safe Fish from expert Kimberly Stewart, author of Eating Between the Lines:
1. SALMON: Fresh – wild Pacific on delivery day. Frozen – wild Pacific, up to $3.00 a pound cheaper. Farmed – none (Atlantic salmon is farmed).
Canned – all wild from Alaska.
2. TUNA: Canned - Tongol or light (rest have mercury issues)
3. SHRIMP: Frozen – US only – look for Marine Stewardship Council seal
4. FARMED: US only – talapia, cat fish, trout
5. FRESH: only on day delivered to store
Keep your eyes out for the Marine Stewardship Council seal as it means it was raised with sustainable practices – no bad stuff. Fish provides invaluable Omega 3s and other nutrients we all need to eat. Listen to this show for more tips, including kid-friendly recipes!
