I went back to the grocery store to help you navigate the seafood department. I always get questions about farm raised fish versus wild caught, and you really need to know where you seafood is coming from. I have no issue buying farm raised salmon IF it's from a high quality aquaculture, because there is not enough wild caught salmon and other seafood in the world to satisfy demand. It's very important to avoid poor quality farm raised salmon, shrimp, and fish, this is the stuff that gives the whole industry a bad name. I hope this helps you choose seafood better at the grocery store! Mad love Bobby...Dessi...and Art! XOXO

Quick tips on seafood:
• always choose wild caught
• avoid large fish (ex:swordfish) as they contain high mercury content
Kyle Rodgers Wild Caught fish has parasites 🤮
Wild-caught fish are often healthier, with less contamination from man-made toxins because they feed on a natural diet of smaller fish and algae and come into contact with less bacteria and parasites.
@@anonymoushuman8443 The cooking process will kill off the parasites. But we cannot get rid of chemicals and toxins in farmed fish during cooking process.
Unless it’s oysters. You don’t really want those wild caught. Farm raised oysters are good AS LONG AS ITS NOT FROM CHINA

That’s awesome they allowed you to film! Costco and Trader Joe’s need to take note. I walk into those stores a lot because of your videos! Happy Holidays Bobby and Fam!
Priscilla Fraide me too! I think if more stores knew how Bobbys followers go out and buy the foods he approves more stores would honor him!
Appreciate Video! Apologies for butting in, I would appreciate your thoughts. Have you considered - Elenajan Supplement Smasher (probably on Google)? It is a smashing one of a kind guide for learning how to shrimp farm like a pro minus the headache. Ive heard some interesting things about it and my m8 at very last got astronomical success with it.
Appreciate Video clip! Forgive me for the intrusion, I would love your thoughts. Have you tried - Elenajan Supplement Smasher (do a google search)? It is a great one off guide for learning how to shrimp farm like a pro minus the hard work. Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my mate after many years got excellent success with it.
This was great, thanks, I been tryin to find out about "lose weight in hips" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Saandalyn Perfection Optimizer - (search on google ) ? Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my friend got amazing success with it.
Thanks Bobby and Art! I was at a local grocery store a few weeks ago. They were giving out samples of Salmon to incentivize you to buy. I asked the woman handing out samples if it was farm raised. She said yes, but with highest quality feed. I told her I was not interested. She wasn’t happy. Now I know what else to ask! Thanks!! 😄
To be honest.. the best fish you can get is from a farmers market with local fishermen selling their local or regional catches. They will typical have fish that is not overfished. Because of this haddock and halibut have become some of my favorite fish to eat instead of salmon these days. Oysters from New England. Grouper when I’m in Florida is also really delicious.Eating what’s local or close to the area can really help your budget and can ensure quality!
Ahhhhh....love seeing you guys walking freely through the market! I don’t get why after all this time the other stores won’t allow you to film! You’re Sharing good info plus giving them a play!🥰
On an episode of ‘Dirty Jobs’ several years ago, Mike Row visited a fish farm where tilapia was raised in pens that are suspended under the larger fish above them. I don’t remember if it was salmon above but the tilapia fed on the poop of the fish above them. I’ve never touched tilapia since seeing that.
tobywinter1 me either...
I stopped eating it as well.
Sharon Smalls it’s totally disgusting
@@princessunicorn669
I totally agree, because mostly what we hear about tilapia is negative.
Thanks for the details, I really appreciate someone finally explaining the difference in seafood when it comes to shopping. Many people don't know the difference and buy whatever because it's cheaper. It's so great to know what's best to consume for u and ur family. Please keep up the great work and continue to keep all of us informed. god bless brother 🙏.
Mariano’s is my go to grocery store out here in the Chicago suburbs. Nice to know they support your content. I usually buy my seafood at Whole Foods though, just because I trust their meat quality. But, this was useful to know you can get quality fish at Mariano’s too.
Your timing is perfect, was doing fish in December - you are the man!!!!
Your videos are so great!! They are always very informative and I always learn something new. Thank you for all the great information. 🥰😊
I would like to see more on fish like Sea Bass, Halibut and Cod.
halibut is high mercury
I agree, I’m going to prepare my first Wild caught halibut. I don’t like fish but I thought I’d start w halibut.
@@Selahree all fish are high in mercury. Luckily the health benefits of fish far out way the negative affects :)
Aldi's have Norwegian salmon
I love you and your videos so much! I recently found you and rave to my boyfriend, family and friends about you. You are truly AMAZING and have really changed my view on how I eat and what I buy now. Went today to get the grassfed milk and sprouted bread as well as grassfed beef today! I love this video because I love salmon so thank you so much!!
You brought back some memories for me. My mom would fry smelts every Christmas Eve. We had the seven fishes
I'm mad I had to learn all this from TH-cam. but thank you so very much, never stop what you're doing
Much awaited video! Thank you for making us aware and giving us the knowledge to make wise decisions to eat healthy🧡💜❤
This is the one I was waiting for!
You always have the best information! I love your channel
You’re the best!!! I love fish and was waiting for a video like this! Thanks Bobby
About a year ago I watched an in depth video on You Tube about salmon farming in Norway and it was very disturbing. The “farmers” were spraying antibiotics from big hoses into the holding pens to ward off the unhealthy conditions of the crowded pens. When cameras tried to film this the employees made great efforts to hide what they were doing. Maybe they are not all like this but consumers have no way of knowing.
I saw the same thing. I heard Norway is the worst 😬
I saw the same thing today i did some research about Norway and they spray them with alot of pesticide, so i would just buy wild caught
Wild caught is the way to go. Don’t trust farm raised
I live in Seattle, one of the salmon capitals of the world. He is completely wrong with his information on farmed salmon. There is no such thing as a wild Atlantic salmon.
Ya norway is dogshit. New zealend is decent apparently.
Thanks for including the website link for more info on which seafood to buy. So much info to look over
I actually take your advice every time I go shopping. Thank you!
Thanks Bobby and Art. # keep on cooking, mad love and peace.
I love all your video content.. I'm so grateful for all your work. Thanks a million
Thank you Bobby and Art. Awesome video as always love you guys for what you do. Appreciate that. 👍❤️❤️❤️
I just found you on utube. Love your information. Your daughter is perious. You have lots of patience. Making great memories. Thanks so much for what you're doing.
Lake Superior smelt fries are the bomb, and when the smelt were running, it was quite the party time years ago to catch them in nets or with a 5-gallon bucket. Local church fries along the lake make the best smelt...🐟
Useful as always. When I lived in the NW I bought salmon all of the time...it’s really expensive in CA this many years later. I loved the Brussel Sprout recipe and bought the stalk too. Excellent tip.
Súper helpful! Thanks Bobby!
Great job , really looking forward to more seafood recipes in the future
Love All your info! Buying your book this week.
NEEDED THIS A DAY AGO! GREAT VIDEO MAN
Awesome, thank you for breaking down the good and bad
Could you make a video on Fresh and Tinned/Jar Molluscs; Clams, Mussels, Scallops, Oysters, Limpets, Cockles, Abalone, Crab, Lobster, Squid, Octopus etc. also on small fish Mackerel, Sardines, Herring, Whitebait and Anchovies :) Your information and advice is very constructive and supportive, keep up the good work :)
Once again you rocked it! Mad Love xo
Thank you! I just bought and cooked fish for myself for the first time ever and didn’t realize until watching this video that it was from Chile so of course now I feel bad for eating it but I’m definitely gonna have to go to my meat market and see what other options they have thanks for the information
I miss the smell of the fresh all kind of sea fish in the beaches of California ❤👍🏻🏖🐟
Yayyyy! I love Mariano’s thanks Bobby and art!
Thank you so much. I always get really useful information about food from your videos .
Thanks a bunch for this video! Really helps!
Very helpful, Thanks Bobby!
Bobby I just love ❤️ to see your videos 👍I have learned lots from you🤗🤗I will continue to watch your videos ❤️
Is there any safe tuna anywhere? Or cod? I’ve learned a lot from you, Bobby. (For the record, your salmon recipes in your cookbook are amazing!) Mad love, indeed. ❤️
I brought frozen salmon 👏🏽👏🏽 I really needed this video. I also took screenshots so I won’t forget when I’m shopping.
Bobby, Thank you so much. I can go back to eating wild caught shrimp seafood again - informative and helpful.
Great video Bobby! I love my fish. Re smelt: I once caught 3 gallons of smelt with some help from my friends. Caught 'em somewhere near Loyola. The weather was so bad that night we had to tie one of the guys who was drunk to a signpost on the breaker. My wife and I spent a couple of hours cleaning the smelt. By the time we were done it was time for me to go to work. We had some great smelt meals. I brought some to my grandmother and she was ecstatic. I'm to old and decrepid to fish like that anymore.
Oh yeah! I remember as a kid going to perch and salmon frys in NW Indiana. So good! I’m out of state now and often wonder if those frys are still happening. Mad love guys...great video today without worry of Waldo’s. 👨🍳❤️
Great video love all your info keep up the good work 👍💯❤️👏
Another great video! It was very helpful to me when I go to buy seafood. Especially with the farm raised salmon. We’re told not to get it but thanks to your info we’re able to differentiate and use discernment when purchasing salmon.
Do your own research because he got this incredibly wrong: I was stunned he said eat farm raised and even said Norway was one of the best: Norways aquacultures are so toxic that they have decimated their local wild salmon population by runoff alone. Imagine eating a fish thats the product off wiping out a species bc it was so toxic to produce it. If you cant afford wild caught DO NOT EAT fish. Paying for farm raised is paying for a toxic cocltail to enter your body. There are lots of documentaries following the efforts of scientists revealing the truth of farmed fish
Kudos to the store for permitting you to film! Free advertising!
Some great info, thanks!
This was so helpful!
Really enjoy your videos, keep up the good work!
Would you do a video for anti-inflammatory diet? Since my body is always achey, would like to know what food triggers body/muscles/old injury to flare up and what food calms down any inflammation in the body. Much thanks!!
wow, I learn so much from your videos.
Thank you so much for this video! Now I know how to shop for seafood!!!
Smelt fry! Yes! Thanks for all the excellent content.
Thank you for all the great information. I've learned a lot from you. I will buy Chunk light tuna. I always bought albacore.
What about the preservatives that are sprayed on the shrimp? They change everything about how they look, cook, and taste.
I was thinking the same thing. Look at the ingredients. Do not buy with preservatives.
Used to catch smelt here in Milwaukee on Lake Michigan. Good eating!
Man that brought back happy memories. Smelt fry ftw!
Thank you, Bobby! Just paid $21.99/lb. for Scottish farm-raised Salmon (skin-on) at Gelson’s and $9.99/lb.at Trader Joe’s for Norwegian farm-raised (no-skin) salmon. Glad both are “Bobby-approved”! They looked exactly the same in color and texture. But Gelson’s salmon still had pin bones and second time I’ve bought it from there and both times had pin bones. FYI, I am in Southern California.
Thank you so much for this! 🙏
How about video on just Costco seafood
I will say there is a difference in frozen salmon to salmon thats already thawed for example at Costco. Sure, the fresh stuff was frozen at some point, but it will be much better than the Kirkland frozen salmon.
Love you guys great info.
Saw a video where guys in Hazmat suits were spraying chemicals on Norwegian fish farms (in fjords). They also showed the sea bed under the farmed fish totally covered with filth. Maybe that’s why Norwegian farmed fish tastes so good.
amazing information..........thanks from the heart ......
Chef Bobby makes amazing salmon.
This video made me go to the frig and finish the Shrimp Cocktail from Thanksgiving. 9:15 on Sunday Morning
Thank you , Very informational.
Thanks for making these videos
Awesome waited for this one
You're correct. Four sigmatic products are great. I've been buying their coffees & elixirs for quite some time.
God bless you man
I just made a list for shopping tomorrow I need it shrimps🍤 always I worry which one to choose
And there I saw you video cool 👍
Great info on toxic shampoo, food etc. Thank you
I'd like your thoughts on the documentary, 'Sea-spiracy'. We love fish but this documentary is making us rethink choosing this as a food source.
Born and raised in Chicago.. When I was little, my parents use to go down to Montrose Harbor with friends and their kids, to net smelts, back in a time when you'd drop your nets for 15 mins and pull up 100.. That amount has gone to barely any smelts and a few alewives in 30 years. Portable stove, cast iron skillet, corn meal for dredging and oil to fry and it was stuff great childhood memories were made of. So sad that neither my kids or any future generations got to experience that.
Awesome 👍 😁 thank you for sharing ❤️
Thank you for this 😊😊
I lived in Chicago for 2 years and ate lots smelts love them I like the show
Hey Bobby, although I agree with many of your points I have to disagree with you with choosing farm raised salmon over wild caught. If you google and compare the nutritional facts between both, you'll discover that farm raised is much higher in fat (especially saturated fat) and has marginally more omega 3s per serving. In addition, wild caught seafood is usually more nutrient dense due to its diet and variations in feed in the wild. If I had to choose, I'd rather have wild caught salmon over any farm raised salmon for this very reason. I also find it very contradictory when recommending other wild caught seafood in this same video over farm raised. Something doesn't quite seem right there. Curious to hear your opinions regarding this.
I would love to hear Bobby’s opinion too. I also always choose wild caught because I think farmed wish have antibiotics regardless of where they are from. It has to be at least organically farmed if I were to consider buying farmed salmon.
Will G I guess you missed what he said in this regards. Bobby never said farmed salmon is better, he simply stated it’s what HE prefers to use because it’s fattier and has less room for error when cooking because of the fat content, (which makes sense for his keto lifestyle). Versus the wild caught which is pretty lean except for the king salmon which has a little more fat than the sockeye but not the farm raised. He also stated the color comes from beta carotene added to the farmed fed. He never said to buy farmed instead of wild caught just gave information for each person to decide for themselves.
I suggest you re-roll that beautiful bean footage and watch and listen for understanding and not to reply with a rebuttal. 🙃
@@urhyhnis hmm..I see, that's true but I guess it is easy misunderstand as the channel is all about choosing healthier options. Even I made that "conclusion", though what you just said is absolutely true.
Is wild caught salmon better canned or frozen
Love you guys. Thank you for all your video insight. I do want to ask if you could look more into the farming though? I've watched a few biology documentaries on BC, Scotland, and Norway and found the quite troubling. They breed and spread sea lice that transmit disease from one hot to the next and if they escape, pass on to wild salmon. Maybe these fish receive better care than unregulated ones but still terrible. I guess many of these species are also able to host off of sockeye and other fish species too. I'm bummed about this discovery...
excellent information!
Great Video!! When farm-raised is the only choice would you pick Norway or Canada? The Canadian is $3 less per pound at my local market. Is there a quality difference??
Great video guy's.
Awesome video about seafood. I would like to hear more about Crab and Lobster. Suggests me if any good brands or packs.
Good things to know! Especially about Costco farm raised salmon. I have a question about the "organic" term not being regulated by the USDA, though. I buy foods that are labeled USDA Organic. Is that not a designation for fish and meat?
well canada regulates its own organic foods.
Unfortunately I went to Costco yesterday and just grabbed the farmed salmon without looking at where it was farmed because of this vid but by the time I got home I saw it was farmed in Chile. So look at the label just to be sure. I guess they still farm in Chile.
Thanks Bobby. Shoot! I've been getting seafood at Aldi but the salmon is Atlantic from Chile so I guess that's out! Looking good there Art😘
Yes up in Canada on the great lakes smelt Fry's are popular!!! Pancake mix and beer instead of water with a little pepper in the batter!!!!
You are awesome dude. You are educating so many people with this channel on something so important.
Great video👏👏
Needed this
Im in Houston Texas and i believe lots of our seafood comes from gulf of Mexico. But we had a few power plants explosiond that have contaminated the water.
Thank you so much
I used to work in a seafood department, we had to list the country of origin on the sales tags. If we had the wrong coo on the tags we got a hearty fine
I live in CLOQUET, MN By Duluth-And Smelt is a huge thing here around May there are many places to Smelt-and many Restaurants have Smelt Fries !!
I love this videos
Hey Bobby! Another great video. Thank you so much. Can you do a video on corn? I know you have to get non-gmo corn. But corn, in general, confuses me. Is it good/bad for you? What about corn tortillas, cornbread, popcorn, tamales, corn flour, corn starch... Should we be eating this? Please help unravel the corny mystery. Thanks again.
OMG, smelt fry is the best!
Thank you for that.
If you can get dry scallops at the fish market, get those. I've had decent results really drying out frozen scallops from Aldi, but dry scallops are better. They are also more expensive. Five dry scallops at Whole Paycheck will run about ten bucks.
