Where To Buy Wild Caught Seafood

When looking for protein that lends major health benefits, fish is at the top of the list. With high levels of vitamin D, B2, and omega 3 fatty acids, fish is nutritional powerhouse that is a beneficial addition to a healthy, balanced diet. There have been concerns with fish consumption over the last several years and the many questions on whether or not farmed fish are the best choice. Farmed fish can become contaminated due to living conditions or diet. Farmed fish may consume a diet of smaller fish, fish meal, and oils. If the food supply is tainted, the farmed fish certainly retain these toxins.

In the last few years there has also been controversy over “organic” seafood. Currently the USDA has not set guidelines, nor does it recognise any seafood as organic. If you see fish labelled as organic, buyer beware. This label for seafood probably doesn’t mean what you expect. Another product that could be making it’s way into the farmed fishing diet is soy. Seen as a solution in aquaculture, a report by none other than the American Soy Association claims that soy based feed could “revolutionize” the fish producing industry. With much of the soy produced in America containing GMO’s, it is easy to find an issue with this unnatural feed that would threaten wild fish and damage coastal communities.

Consuming fish from sustainable, wild caught sources have amazing health and is better for the environment. With salmon being one of the most popular fish consumed in America, and because of it’s extensive health benefits, it has become one of the main fish of controversy in the farmed vs. wild debate. Wild caught salmon has the lowest risk of contamination between farmed and wild sources. Many who advocate for sustainable food argue that farmed salmon are being raised in an unnatural environment and consuming an unnatural diet. Salmon who live in the wild feed on a variety of different sources of fish and other species. Some of the key benefits to salmon are due to it’s fatty nature which gives salmon its high omega 3 and vitamin levels. Mercury and other contaminants are found mostly in the fat of tainted fish. By consuming sustainable, wild caught seafood, we are consuming products that have all of the important health benefits without contamination or unnatural farming practices.
