Toxic seafood warning

[Linda]

A friend just sent me this email today. I noted that the date of the report was 2007 but feel that it is still an important issue. I can't help but wonder how the spill in the gulf will affect our imports of seafood.

You wouldn't think anyone was concerned about it by the crowd at Stinky's last night. Personally, I have been eating my weight in cobia all week.

Thankfully Stinky's doesn't get their fish from China or Thailand

I haven't eaten fish in over 5 years. it's filthy, and diminishing catch has been evident for decades.

Oil spill forces fishing ban in federal waters | pnj.com | Pensacola News Journal

The BP oil spill hit home on Sunday when the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration banned fishing in federal waters from the Mississippi River to Pensacola Bay.

Just a quick reminder that there are many people employed by the seafood industry and starting to throw around the idea that Gulf of Mexico seafood is toxic due to the oil spill, when there is no evidence of such, can be an economic death nail.

Also, I just wanted to remind everyone with an aversion to fish because it isn't harvested in a sustainable manner or holds toxins that there are many beneficial nutrients and fats they are missing out on. I have done some reading and it appears that the lowly sardine may be just the answer. They are abundant, impossible to overfish it would seem, pack all the beneficial nutrients of larger fish and do not harbor toxins because they are small and have a short life span. I picked up a can at Publix for about $2.50 and will give it a try. I was told that for rookies the boneless, skinless variety is the way to go.

As long as they are selling it, I will be eating it - in moderation and from trusted sources as always.

Hysteria doesn't help anyone.

I agree with your post but just want to clarify that this video is about imported fish from foreign countries - not the Gulf of Mexico. My point in posting the video was to show that we really should be aware of where the fish that we eat is coming from. I think, that due to the oil spill and the ban on fishing in some waters, that more imported fish is coming our way. Buyer beware.
