Should You Stop Eating Fish?

Should you stop eating fish is not the first time I asked this question, and I’m certainly not the only one asking. Originally, I wrote about this topic here after I learned that Sylvia Earle was advocating for a plant-based diet.

Since the aquaculture industry has evolved since I wrote that original article, I want to address this old question again.

Find out what to consider when deciding whether to stop consuming seafood. Plus, I share a shallow pan-fried catfish recipe with everyone’s favorite: buttermilk ranch dressing.

Moderation. Small helpings. Sample a little bit of everything. These are the secrets of happiness and good health.

GM salmon, astaxanthin, and Today’s Farmed Fish

In late April 2021, I spoke with Erica Boucher, educator, author, international yoga travel expert, and host of the podcast All Ways Evolving, about how to become a better sustainable seafood consumer.

However, we didn’t get a chance to talk about several other important topics related to farmed fish, and I didn’t have the answer to her question about adding dye to farmed salmon.

To follow up on this Green Fish Blue Oceans podcast episode, I answer Erica’s question plus discuss a few additional topics of interest in the farmed fish space.

I kept this episode short and sweet because I realize your time is valuable. If you’d like to discuss anything on this episode further or want to get in touch, please use this contact form.
