Choosing Safe Fish and Seafood

By , About.com GuideFebruary 15, 2010

nullJust as it is crucial for us to choose organic or minimally treated, non-genetically modified produce, we need to consider where our seafood comes from. How is it caught? Is it farmed safely or in conditions that breed toxicity? Is it okay to eat in terms of ocean conservancy? Does it contain high levels of mercury or other toxins? The Blue Ocean Institute has a wonderful resource for finding out how safe your fish is. And they also have a sushi guide! Get information on over 50 types of fish and seafood, and nearly 30 sushi fish. It's an invaluable resource for anyone who consumes food from our oceans.
