So this is what my science teacher ment by "if you research too much, it could cause irreversible damages."
What an A55hole! (Your teacher)
If you’re like Adam, you’ll like learning all the horrors of reality. Also it’s fun to see others reaction when you share the knowledge
That's why ignorance is bliss
@@benjaminwertz2379 no.
@@nikketasnowden you've never heard the expression "ignorance is bliss"? It's one of the oldest expressions in the english language
I can confirm the tuna fact. A fishermen me and my friends knew once (I'm in the Mediterranean) brought a tuna to a barbecue and it tasted vastly different than any other grilled "tuna" they might serve at restaurants.
Well if you're like me and eat tuna pretty much every single day, you won't ever get fooled. I can already tell the name of the individual tuna and his age and sexual preference without even opening the can.
that last bit though was....a bit much.
Still, props to ya! :D
well I only eat homosexual tuna
Already I can hear the sloppy sounds of people digging into tuna. e.e ...

Yeah you would believe so but at night the fish goblins come and chabge the fish you caught
Is the salmon meat really not pink there?
im glad EU is regulated and look out for these things, and those who do are named and shamed
Too bad there may not be an EU in the coming years
Bite Me the problem is that the eu was too controlling. Someone in Belgium could dictate to an English person the price of chips. If they were less controlling then it could’ve worked.
@@Amateur_Pianist_472
Yea
Sucks that it's happening but the UK needs the EU and more people r realising this
And even thi the EU r controlling it the long term it's best as they promote all kinds of fair legislation
Definitely better than the US, true and the Salmon is naturally pink etc. HOWEVER Norwegian Salmon has it's own scandal. There are some troubling issues there as well. Nowhere is safe :(
eu has the same problems
At my local Pizza Hut if you ask for coke they'll give you pepsi without asking because they don't have coke. If they ask if it's okay, some customers will ask for water instead, their bill will be lower, and the waiter runs a higher risk of not meeting their quota. So it's pretty much common policy to give the customer something they didn't ask for in this case. I know it's not the same, but still dirty and underhanded. They pressure their wait staff so that they'll really push the customer into getting something they didn't really want, because they have quotas to fill.
+Nater K it's pretty much the same, but then, I order apple juice
+Nater K This is pretty much a standard in any business (gamestop is a rather large example, albeit for a different industry).
I'm a vegetarian. I once ordered a veggie burger at an a&w. they gave me a chicken burger. when I asked the lady why, she said they didn't have any veggie burgers. so I asked for a refund, she replied with "can't you eat it anyway", I ignored her. so I got a full refund (I already had my fries before the burger arrived, so there's a bright side) . moral of the story, tell someone you don't have the item, else they might leave for inadequate service.
+eleganos Unfortunately the fries were fried in the fat of baby harp seals.

Adam Exposes Everything
Too true
beyond just mislabeling, there were also a few fish species that get 'special' names for restaurants to make them sound more appealing. "chilean sea bass" is actually Patagonian Toothfish. "Red Snapper" does exist, but that technically refers to the atlantic version, while many places sell a breed from the pacific normally called the "rockfish" (renaming also lets them charge the red snapper price, which is higher, despite it not being the same quality of fish-just closely related). And if you ever ordered an "orange roughy"-congrats...you ate a Slimehead (the actual name and family name for that species). "A rose by any other name would smell as sweet"-but apparently the same fish won't be as good with a bad name?
ADAM YOU RUINED SUSHI FOR ME
HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO MEEEEEHEEEEEEEE **sobbing**
oh
just make sure it from a good sushi restaurant and you will be okay. by that I mean the not so cheap once unless it is well known and owned by a Japanese.
Escolar is seriosly delicious, and you can eat up to six ounces before having negative digestive effects.. Sushi restaraunts will only sell this as "white tuna" along with other great tasting and high quality fish like yellow tail tuna.. Theres no way it would pass as red tuna (yellow fin being the most common).. If you just ask what kindof "white" tuna they are serving, your likely to get a truthfull asnwer as long as the server is knowledgable or asks the chef.. another popular "white" tuna is albacore, white is still quite tasty... Probably not litterally classified as tuna but it has kidof just ended up in that grouping for whatever reason.. Probably to help the customers understand the flavor profile.........
Escolar is the super milky-white piece they give you. High-end places usually don't serve it. If you get your sushi from a cheaper place or the supermarket, that's usually when you get the imitation fish. Also, wild salmon is really easy to tell from farmed salmon when raw, it has a different color and a lot more flavor. Got to the fish market and look at the expensive salmon vs. the cheap salmon and you'll see the difference.
Team Firefly more for me fool!
Having worked in a restaurant I can say that this is 100% true. That being said, there's nothing wrong with the food per sé it's just not exactly what you ordered.
That's why I love living in a city with a huge port. We have fish markets where you can actually see and check the fish that you're buying. They also cut the fish in front of you.
Ew
I would totally eat grey salmon
Archibald Belanus same

I never seen it anywhere, all the salmon available here is pink

I live in europe and I can't.
I can't find non-colored fish either, but I also don't go to the fishmarket all that often, usually buy the fish at the supermarket.
I've worked in restraunts for years, 9 times out of ten it's farm raised even if they say it's wild...most people in the restraunt don't know which is which, and the labels are usually very vague

You really should put some sources in the descriptions.....
+umidontno040394 he puts his sources in the video itself.
Xcallion really? i just hear "a study found that...." or did i not pay attention? haha
+umidontno040394 There are sources for every episode on the channel's website.
Moke McHelloThere oh. ok then
+umidontno040394 when he calls studies you can see some white text with the name of the study.
This is US-based; in other countries, the farmed salmon are actually given feed that contains krill, and the pigment that gives krill its pink colour is so easy to synthesize, they can produce it artificially and add it to feed that doesn't necessarily contain krill. This way, the tissues are naturally pink. Also, the feed is usually fish offal (the bits you don't want to eat, like the liver, stomach, and other organs), not chicken.
The whole show is very U.S. Based. Sometimes limited or even wrong. For example, in one episode they strongly suggested German Americans were not interned during WW2 which is not true. It didn't happen to them on as large a scale as Japanese Americans, but it did happen.
That's why I don't eat fish and sushi and everyone has been criticizing me for so long
Μαρια Χατζηχαραλαμπους well now you just have a conveniently coincidental excuse

+Karol Bała exactly. Because all of a sudden, having to sell the right fish instead of some fake fuckshit is "distortion of competition" and suddenly European/German laws are overruled by some corporate asshat in a backroom without public access.
you know the p stands for Pacific right
bluewardog "Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership" no it does not
ow I thought you wrote tpp
bluewardog that's a whole other problem, trying to flood the canadian market with cheap shitty american milk, and even milk from new zealand, gross
so then why don't they feed them krill?
I think farms would make more money if they just fed them krill and didn't have to dye them...
Justin White yes they would have to farm the krill. Doesn't mean they shouldn't do it.
Then it's just more money for upkeep of them. Farms don't want to pay for the hassle.
Because contrary to your idea, it would cost far more to grow krill and feed it to them than to simply dye it.
***** Really? I don't think it would cost that much, plus they could start krill farms and sell them to salmon farms.
+Neil Divins That's the problem, you aren't thinking at all. It is cheaper to dye them so the companies do it. Invent a way for krill feeding to be cheaper and they'll switch.
I love these videos, I love facts and information, I love ruining things for people in an educational way and Adam, you're very charismatic and do a great job.
Dude this is so true, I work in meat at sams club and the "wild salmon" is almost always farm raised in Chile or Afghanistan... says so on the shipping info :/
Farmed salmon from Afghanistan?
I think I'm going to have to doubt that.
Assuming he made a typo for "Argentina"
@@belaythisorder I did wonder that. Although I have never heard of Argentina producing much farmed salmon either.
However, Norway produces about 55% of all the farmed salmon in the world. Chile is second, with about 25%.

Could adding ground up carrots give it that pink color? I know it has been done for flamingoes in zoos.
Really?
0:32 sounds like Pearl from SpongeBob SquarePants 🤣😂
As much as I love this series, I wish they would post some of the sources where they find this information
The do.. Look at the top right
In fact, the salmon one is false. All salmon starts off gray, and cartenoids in their diet, for both farm and fresh salmon, is what turns them pink. Just like flamingos. They arent dyed.
“... It makes you poop.” I died laughing XD
I remember when I was a kid whenever my mom got me tuna at a restaurant I would always get diarrhea so I didn’t eat it at home but then I ate some from the grocery market recently and it was fine
Lol the end.
"It makes you poop!"
"I got it."
I have caught wild salmon several times. But I never had the opportunity to catch tuna. So now I just throw a can in the air and then catch it so I can tell people I have caught tuna.
I eat only wild caught salmon. Good thing my local lake is full of freshwater salmon called kokanne salmon. There like sockeye but they don't go to the ocean.
Kokanne? like, cocaine or pronounced Ko Kon knee?
Coke-Anne
MSK SKM thank you ^^
Good thing I live in the UK, where the advertising standard agency means that every thing is oh so much more regulated
yea the uk has vast abundances of freshwater salmon although alot of is exported to other eropien countries and then there are the Europeans who fish in our waters essentially stealing salmon but even then its all fresh.
well.i guess thats why tuna in Japan tastes so good. especially the sushi. I have cans of tuna in my fridge and now i wonder what it really is....
nawab256 Dolphin
that sounds super
Graeme kulas flipper
What's more interesting is that every region has a different idea of what "a good color for salmon" is.
Here in Japan, they're a strong orange depending on where you go. You'll never see a pink-tinted salmon anywhere.
In Alaska salmon are pink or white (king)
different type of salmon
sofullofpiss Damn. I wanna see a comparison chart or something. This stuff is getting to be really interesting.
+sofullofpiss That's the difference between wild and farmed salmon, the wild one is much more red than the orange farmed one.
Farmed salmon is really easy to spot, exp when raw. They have more fat in them.
About the ending of the video: last time I checked, all meals send you to the toilet. Maybe it just digets faster
Maybe it's because I'm from Alaska but I was really shocked about the gray salmon thing? I've only really ever had freshly caught king salmon that my dad filleted himself so it's always that gorgeous orange-pink color.
I don't even like fish.
I don't even like humans
+Bret Sheeley DEAD.
Good for you but us normal people are upset!
Well, that wasn't as unsettling as expected.
Would non dyed salmon taste the same as dyed salmon? That's all that matters to me.
Interestingly the answer could be no. Humans make preconceptions about our environment before we even realize it. Brain scanning proves that if you gave someone food without telling them the brand they might not like it much, or not rate it any different to others. But if you then give them its brand they will instantly rate it higher, their own mind overrode their taste buds and told them that they liked it more.
So if you expected a pink salmon and were handed the grey one your mind could have already decided to hate it and attribute every upset stomach gurgle you feel for the next week to that one plate of food.
Calvin_Coolage veritably slight difference.
I think it’s not the dying itself as much as the fact that if it’s dyed it’s farmed salmon, and farmed salmon is worse than wild salmon, which would naturally be gray.
Me: was about to go to Sushi Bar.
Adam:
I remember learning this when I got fresh caught salmon in Alaska. I was really surprised, considering I love salmon.
The "Spicey Alaskan rolls" i get are actually made with steele head. Rainbow trout. I dont mind at all since they dont charge authentic fish prices and it tastes basically the same
Heck, I'd just eat gray salmon
Farmed trout is gray, and it tastes just fine.
Practically the only way to get whole, unprocessed meat these days is to fish or hunt for it yourself.
HAH I KNEW I SHOULDN'T EAT UNCOOKED FISH! AND YOU ALL LAUGHED! WHO'S LAUGHING NOW? HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
i'm not sure what this had to do with sushi
???
Me. Uncooked fish poses absolutely no health risk whatsoever as long as it's prepared correctly. Hell, even poisonous fish are edible if they're prepared right (pufferfish). They eat it in Japan as a delicacy, and the life expectancy in Japan is higher than in the US
Plus not all sushi is uncooked.
that's why when we have fish in my family we get it from a locally owned fishing truck that goes to the sea every Saturday or something, its not as expensive as it sounds
***** its actually more expensive, because they literally fish for the fish, and sell it on the same day
I have never been able to relate to an animal more than the salmon character on this cartoon .
" my diet is ruining my complexion but I just can't stop"
Well, we can't all eat wild salmon. then there would be no wild salmon left :(
He didn't really ruin anything in this episode just made me more aware
Exactly! "Ruin" is a joke. In reality, he's actually *un-ruining* a lot of broken things by giving the world a chance to fix them!
But yes, because so many people like to feel like they're "in the know" (and based their *identity* around feeling that way) and Adam basically reveals how out-of-the-loop we all are on *so many* aspects of society, lots of people feel like they're "ruined" when he reveals the truth, which says *a lot* about how fragile a lot of peoples' chosen identities are (which is a problem and I'm *very glad* it's being exposed)!
@@mazdakmina9493 same!
Well I mean-
I feel the same
so the salmon meat from the salmon i have caught in lake michigan (no krill in there) is pink. why is this?
+alvatrous Because krill are everywhere. Trust me, I've seen krill in Lake Michigan.
Because Salmon swim out to the ocean where they live for a few years (and eat the krill) then return to the lakes, rivers and streams where they were born to then spawn and die.
Because krill get their color from eating an abundance of phytoplankton, which is rich in beta-carotene. As long as salmon - or any animal for that matter - continues to consume large quantities of food/prey rich in beta-carotene, they'll turn red.
And phytoplankton is the key source of all food webs in just about any body of water.
Krill is an oceanic species, so it is unlikely what you saw in Lake Michigan was krill. That said, you probably saw something which looked like krill (i.e. shrimp) but wasn't.
I've caught salmon also from Lake Michigan and it was very pink. They never see the ocean. They feed on alewives and other small fish.
*laughs in Australian* most of us know that we dye our salmon. Still doesn’t stop me from buying it though 😂😂
I was a fresh fish buyer for a long time. If this is true, it certainly doesn't happen in the uk
I've never felt better about being allergic to fish.
Salmon is still very healthy though and I don't hear him say anything about it affecting the taste or quality. The price isnt that outrageous around here and I only eat it once or twice a month anyways, to keep it special. Nothing better than a salmon sandwich from a place where they know how to make a good lunch. And Luckily I know a few of those places.
It's deception however. And that pink dye might be suspect as well. Farmed fish also has some problems. Plus fish has mercury due to various pollution.
+0IIIIII
Was that Halloween candy you might have eaten last weekend deceptive? It would most likely just be sort of off-white sugar bits if it wasn't artificially colored. The appearance of food has an effect on the overall experience and I don't see why it's any different for salmon meat.
As for wild vs farmed salmon: These days farmed salmon does not seem to contain any more mercury or other pollutants than wild. (reference: www.doh.wa.gov/CommunityandEnvironment/Food/Fish/FarmedSalmon ).
There are negative environmental effects to fish farms and and it's a balancing act between those and over fishing of wild fish populations. Both forms of fish productions have their dark sides but human health does not really seem to be an issue. If you want to be environmentally conscious you can avoid both if you simply do not eat fish.
IamQuh Yeah, and I didn't eat any of that. I carefully track the ingredients, avoid, and read up on additives. I'm not a hippy, and considering lobbying and the revolving door in politics, and that some artificial food additives, such as some artificial colors, have already been banned in the US and abroad due to health concerns, I think I am logical to be wary. Also, when I said famed salmon has problems, I wasn't necessarily referring to health problems, but problems in general such as environmental concerns, such as the use of antibiotics, diseased fish, and the risk of farmed specimens escaping and contaminating the wild.
I would actually quite like gray salmon, one of the big turnoffs for me in it is the pink as to me it looks raw.
1:55 never knew fish looked so scary.
its not the restaurants or grocery stores. it's the fishing industry and FDA. There are minimal regulations on how to market and mark fish species. Often times the places that are selling the fish don't even know it's not whatever you think it is.
get your fish from places that break down *whole* fish themselves.
... the wild salmon thing really gets me, because they can sell a specific kind of trout as wild salmon.
If u want to learn about something much worse than this back in the early 1900's search up canned chicken and a book called "the jungle" or something. It's horrifying stuff
most people that went through 10th grade heard/read that book lol
I've never heard of that before! I'm scared to find out.

"The Sins of Packington"?
The Jungle, by Upton Sinclair. 10th grade anyone?
I mean, isn't it better than driving the species to extinction? Who cares if it's not the species it's called, or if it's dyed to improve client satisfaction. It's still edible fish. We always called mushrooms "plants". Are we going to suddenly find them gross because we realized they're the spore dispersing fruiting body of a non plant microorganism? They're still the same thing we always ate, we just were calling it wrong.
Your analogy is wrong. Unlike mushrooms, we didn't eat 'crap' fish till recently.
TheVsagent How do you know?
GregTom2
Furthermore, you're also wrong about fish farms saving species from extinction. They actually do more harm than good.
Because I simply want to eat what I order ^^
I don't really care what it is, as long as it's really good. But I hate getting lied at.
I'd say it's more complicated than that, tho yes there are definitely issues with farmed fish. (the best option would probably be to just not eat them!!)
It's different in Alaska
A couple caveats:
The chemical that is used to dye farmed salmon pink is the exact same natural chemical (Astaxanthin) that gives krill its red color. So no, you're not eating food coloring.
The mislabeling of tuna is actually the fault of the English language (and lax regulations on the seafood industry). "White tuna" refers to both albacore and snake mackerel. If something says "white tuna" instead of albacore, you should just not take the risk.
In Seattle the seafood can be pretty good because there are lots of local fisherman that go out in the ocean and actually freaking fish.
2:17 EVERYTHING makes you poop eventually. It's called digestion.
that wasnt a very good response, you can remove your comment if you dont want to embarrass yourself since this comment will become more relevant and closer to the top with me replying.
i love that adam is basically god and he can do whatever he wants, even altering a pre made video in a previous episode of his show, but he just goes around imparting knowledge
In Ireland we know where out fish comes from. All fish is from the ocean or rivers. We don't really have many fish farms
Actually, the EU gives out a lot of the oceans and seas around the British Isles to other countries who need the income (Greece, spain, etc) so the fish you buy is either not from around Ireland, or really expensive.
#Irexit
lol at the naivete
Or just Florida..
You also had a potato famine "in Ireland"
Instead of just complaining about everything. I would like to see Adam give legitimate recommendations on things.
Recommendation- Don't eat seafood.
@@someguy2135 Recommendation:
Don't eat
@@m-9648 Let me know how your no food diet goes. 😉 Seriously, you might have heard about lab experiments with lab rats that led some to conclude that caloric restriction would lead to a much longer lifespan. One advantage of a whole food plant based diet is that it is made up of food that is almost all less calorically dense than animal products. You can eat all you want without gaining weight. In fact, most people lose weight when they switch. I intentionally gained about 10 pounds, but I had to drink a lot of smoothies to do it.
I took a marine biology course in college. The instructor told us that cod from restaurants is almost never actually cod, either. It's pretty scummy that they get away with lying to people about what they're selling.
The solution? Eat plant based! If everyone did, it would be the solution to many problems and threats we face today. Can you refute any of these compelling reasons to boycott animal products?
1-Your own health (vegans are less likely to get several deadly chronic diseases)
2-Helping to end animal agriculture would reduce the chance of another pandemic & other zoonotic diseases
3-Helping to end animal ag would reduce the chance of the development of an antibiotic resistant pathogen.
4-Animal ag wastes a huge amount of fresh water. Each vegan saves 219,000 gallons of water every year!
5-Animal ag is a major cause of water pollution
6-Animal ag is a major cause of deforestation
7-Animal ag increases PTSD and spousal abuse in the people who work in slaughterhouses. Workers in meat packing facilities often endure terrible, dangerous working conditions.
8-Animal ag is a major cause of the loss of habitat and biodiversity
9-Needless killing of innocent, sentient beings cannot be ethically justified.
10- It is the single most effective way for each of us to fight climate change and environmental degradation.
11- Longer lifespan.
12- Healthier weight (vegans were the only dietary group in the Adventist Studies that had an average BMI in the recommended range.)
13- A healthy plant based diet significantly reduces the chances of ED later in life, and even 1 meal can improve bedroom performance
14- Vegetarians and vegans have lower rates of dementia later in life
15- A plant based diet could save money! You could reduce your food budget by one third!
16- A vegan world would save 8 million human lives a year, and $1 trillion in health care and related costs (Oxford Study)
Links for some of these are at my channel under "About."
If you doubt any of them, I would be glad to cite evidence from credible sources to back them up. TH-cam only allows a certain number of links at my channel.
Is this true for Europe as well? We should have higher standards here... at least that's what we're told...
Nope, we have actual laws that punish harshly mislabeling and similar behavior. That is why Italy and France strongly opposed to the transatlantic commerce accord, because US would start to bring to us their mislabeled food.
Also Americans are really picky with fish, for example they NEVER eat a whole fish, they always headless when sold or served. Often also without tail. In Italy instead they often give you whole fish, so there is no way they could give you something different.

+rapsody230 The study about wild salmon also did most European countries and the results were worse in Europe.
I see no reason why farm salmon is bad.
Imo farmed salmon is better than wild (enviro, at least) but there are some issues with the practice like interbreeding+sea lice (which then get loose and infect wild populations without tolerances) so the better option is probably not to support the industry at all.
Food makes you poop?! The hell?
: t
Not usually in the "Oh nutz, I ate a bag taco" kind of way.
This accounts for a lot of foods. Like how french fries/hash browns have added chemicals to make them more appealing to the eye (natural sugars taken out and replaced with dextrous and/or annatto added for a more golden color when cooked)
Facts, working as a line cook i noticed that not all tallipa look the same. I could go shopping and compare the two fishes and they would look similar but taste different
oh adam, you just want to ruin everything...
Good thing I don't like seafood
Every once in a while I will eat a shrimp or two (I like shrimp, but I get tired of it VERY quickly), but that's about it
Edit: no wait, I eat calamari sometimes, but I eat it about as often as I eat shrimp
so you don't eat fish? at all? thats not very healthy

Okay, as a marine biologist i should clarify the two “real” tuna species are under threat of going extinct due to over fishing by mainly the japanese. The farmed salmon is absolutely nothing wrong with, in fact wild salmon contains extremely high levels of mercury making it toxic! The fact is they mislabel because no one wants to eat Bonito or skipjack even though it tastes very very similar to tuna, this video has a bad narrative, Adam please correct. @CollegeHumor
LOVE that there’s no captions for these videos SO accessible 🙄😒
First time I ever had Salmon, it was wild Samon. My Aunt and Uncle caught it in Alaska, and skinned / prepped it for our family.

Hockey Patriot You're right 😂😂😂😂

THIS IS THE ONLY EPISODE THAT RUNIED IT OMG XD
that was legit no joke
Ordering Salmon in restaurants is a thing now...? I just eat it raw at home lol.
I actually catch my own fish because I absolutely *dispise* store bought fish... sadly here in manitoba its hard to find good salmon.. but the pickerel is great
Hehe. Made the mistake of eating escolar at room temperature that was last refrigerated four hours ago. The result was major digestion problems, headache, and a slower pulse. Takes days to recover but I just continued my daily routine while suffering.
"My diet is ruining my complexion" lol
Why is everyone talking about fish? Don't care, just commented to say I did it and honestly I could listen to Adam all day. You're strangely mesmerizing. Oh, and I agree about the attention span (mine is certainly not what it used to be).
learned this from kitchen nightmares I have a major distrust of any sit down restaurant
Mislabeling is illegal and you will end up in jail for few years in my homeland.
Not having original papers clearly identifying the cow for steak caused one restaurant to be publicly ashamed across the country and paying over the yearly financial turnover in fines.
I was worried when I saw the title but when I found he was only talking about farmed salmon I was relieved. Where I live (Washington) we have a thriving wild salmon population (well compared to other places). I get all my fish from my neighbor who is a fisherman, when ever they have to much fish. I was worried that my favorite food was going to be ruined.
2:10 is the exact what my stomach makes noise sometime for a sec I thought it actually came from my gut
The only time I eat Salmon is when I fished for it my self. I used to live in Tacoma, Washington and would go fishing quite a bit. I then moved to Texas and ordered Salmon once and could tell the something was quite... fishy. 😂😂
2:11 Mr. Adam, I don't feel so good!
the pink pigment for farmed salmon is produced synthetically but is chemically the exact same as the natural pigment in krill. I cant say for sure what the feed is made from, but as a worker in the industry I have no problem whatso ever eating farmed fish.
Lol my job does this, puts "wild caught salmon" on the menu and tells us to sell it like that, but its farm raised.
2:34 what a surprise....
I saw this video, clicked on it, and specifically went to go get tune to see if I'd throw up. I really don't want to go to school tomorrow...
I watched this while on the tolet,whith stomach pains 30 minits after eating some tuna😂😂
