  • Uncover hard truths in the underbelly of Asia.
    What’s the truth behind one of Asia’s cheapest and most consumed fish - the pangasius or "dory" fish? Is it a miracle super-fish ideal for the thrifty consumer, or a toxin-filled product that we should avoid?
    The ubiquitous pangasius fish fills supermarket shelves and restaurant menus in Asia. Yet fifteen years ago, it was rarely seen. The heart of pangasius production lies in Vietnam’s Mekong Delta, which supplies an expanding global market.
    But in the last decade, there have been damaging stories circulating in Western media and online. Its critics claim that pangasius contains toxic and harmful chemicals, due to the "filthy" Mekong river and unregulated breeding and feeding by fish farmers.
    Defenders of the fish point to these stories as evidence of protectionism, especially by the US catfish industry and barely-disguised racism against ‘dirty’ Asian practices. So is the pangasius potentially dangerous to consumers, or is it the victim of unfair vilification?

    Hi there, my background in medical, chemical and environmental field: I can only tell my wife when go shopping for food:
    1// Small wild seafood with short life span because the short life cycle tends to help minimize the toxicity being stored in the seafood creature system.
    2// Grow your own veggies and fruits as much as you can.
    3// Only buy organic meat as much as you can.

    There are so many fishes labeled wrongly in SG supermarkets, and selling at a much higher price.

Maybe the team at NUS can check too.

    “Snapper”. And we would sell it as Grouper and Snapper. People ate the shit out of it. Be careful when visiting shitty restaurants along the coast, it happens all the time. Some states have outlawed it .

      Your right. Peru raised farmed salmon and it collapsed due to fish pen pollution etc. Salmon are not an indigenous species In Peru. Canada does And buries the health risk as its big export $$$$.
      You can't get near a fish pen on British Columbia's
      west coast to get a fish to analyze. So researchers watch for an eagle to grab a penned fish and test it. It's contaminated so they don't want it analyzed. However researchers watched eagles grabbing salmon from the pen. And found some eagles landed and tore off part of their catch and left the rest. They confirmed the salmon was in fact contaminated. Tested it against store bough fresh salmon and confirmed the contamination from more than 1 source in Pacific and Atlantic salmon.
      I think Sweden does the same and farmed salmon goes to the EU. Fishery minister was fired after bringing the tainted fish problem to light.
      As to the not being bottom feeders comment, this is a water quality problem from uneaten food and fish waste products in their pens causing or being the problem. Additionally manufactured fish food is part of the cause.
      I'd eat USA farmed catfish or tilapia but that would be occasional these days. Consume Nothing from Asia farmed or supposibly Wild Caught !

    lots of Farmed Fish or shrimps come from Indonesia, but we dont grow it inside the river that we used daily. We use waterponds and we have water treatment so it is sterile when the water that had been used are dumped. Lots of farmed fish are using nutrients, however, all the nutrients are half organics and half are produced. And all the nutrients are produced by big companies. I am just shocked in the narrative they use "Fish From Asia" while Asia have lots of countries and lots of Farmed Fish Varieties (Shrimps for example).

    TBH, I've known pangasius as Cream Dory long before I became familiar with John Dory. The latter is not a common fish where I'm from. The name really meant nothing to people here but the rather generic white fish that always came as boneless skinless fillets. There's nothing unhealthy about them, they're just not very interesting to eat, IMO. Compared to tilapia, the most common alternative here, pangasius tend to be mushy when cooked and quite bland. But if they're providing so much livelihood to a country like Vietnam, there's nothing wrong with that. Like the video said towards the end, the Vietnamese farmers aren't the ones mislabeling the fish, and its a problem with several other fish species that get mislabelled.
