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.
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!🥰
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.
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...🐟
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 :)
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 🙏.
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.
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.
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.
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.
@@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.
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!!
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
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. 👨🍳❤️
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
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!!
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.
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 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.
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...
Enjoyed your recommendations but took exception to your recommendation not to purchase frozen cooked shrimp. We purchase frozen cooked shrimp to use as "shrimp cocktail" and in cooked dishes but we never cook the shrimp. For shrimp cocktail and our cooking needs we thaw just short of completely. For a cooked dish we cut the almost thawed shrimp as needed and then place the shrimp in a cooked (almost hot) dish just prior to serving. No toughness at all.
Wow thank you so much for this information I have a 3lb bag of Talipia and 2lb bag of Swai fish One is farmed raised in China and the other one is Farm raised in Vietnam. Don't know if I should eat it or not
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.
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. ❤️
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?
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.
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.
I think it’s MSC for wild sustainable fishing and ASC for aquaculture. Not sure how strict they are though. But when in doubt as you have seen, wild ones have barely any white lines (fats) and farmed ones have rather prominent fats.
Bobby, what do you think of wild caught catfish, bruised or grilled? Also walleye, Bass, and crappie? I'm happy to know. It's logical that farm-raised fish would be different, because of what they feed them. Often we be eating farm-raised. And I think I noticed a difference in the taste of that and wild caught fish. Thank you Bobby.
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.
Thanks to you. I have farm raised salmon frozen and frozen wild caught shrimp. Like you said if you’re not using it right away and it’s never been thawed out. Buy it frozen.
Bobby & Art, thank you for doing this, now it's encourasging to shop for seafood again with confidence. But seems the jury is still out for the farm raised Norway salmon farming practices are causing continued scary unhealty toxic salmon for consumption. Numerous youtube videos go into more details. If this was not considered in this video, please do a follow up educational with us.. thank you
Norway is definitely a terrible offender, but all aquacultures opporate the same way and create the same farm raised product littered with toxins that you couldnt even pay me to eat, say nothing of asking me to pay money for. Very dissapointed he promotes farm raised. I thought he was a smart guy
Agree .. Some people call Norwegian salmon the most toxic food in the world, I love wild king salmon. It isn't nearly as fatty as the Faroe island salmon from Norway. I love Bobby but I think he was misinformed on the famed salmon a tad. All good just not something I will eat. Only wild.
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.
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.
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.
They're farming seabass and bream now. Sure, it takes pressure off the wild population, but is it safe to consume? I read they use hormones to hatch the fry and antibiotic use is high. What they're fed, I have no idea.
I have mercury from tuna, arsenic from rice, and lead from water flowing through my body. I'm doomed. Thank you for another informational video! This is great stuff, and an excellent way to get people interested in doing their own research. I bet it was lovely not to worry about Waldos!
I've been buying and enjoying Norwegian farmed salmon from Costco. It's fatty and delicious and it tastes better than wild. I'm a bit concerned and confused when I read so many articles on the Internet stating the farmed Norwegian salmon is not good and it's full of toxins...ugh I like it so much better than the lean wild salmon.
Would it be better to get the wild caught salmon from Aldi (China) or farm raised from Whole Foods ("ethically farmed")? I can't always afford the good stuff!
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
Hey Bobby Do a vid on products that have a warning label because they might cause cancer. Target website shows that. Did you know instant pot may have lead ! Also a lot of furniture has that warning. Just check the product info. :( It’s California law to have that warning.
Can you do a video on the chinese market fish and meat please!? They sell live fish swimming in the tanks and they have “brown chickens” but what exactly is brown chicken??
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??
loving all the info thanks so much, but I am missing more info on the white fish. Which origin is the best, which one to get there?besides avoiding farm raised?
What is sushi grade salmon? Can I use frozen ones since we don’t know how fresh they are in the store and i believe they should be frozen at a certain temperature before eating
Should canned tuna be wild caught? I’ve only been able to find wild caught albacore tuna in cans. You mentioned albacore is high in mercury. So what kind of canned tuna should we be buying? I don’t want to eat a ton of omega 6S from farmed tuna. But I also don’t want to eat a ton of Mercury from wild caught albacore tuna.
Use live two blocks fromRainbow Beach south side from South Shore Hospital.Went down to the Navy pier to get fresh fish all the time. Now I live in a landlocked state and I miss it
Great advice Bobby I'm getting into eating salmon because in the past I had a bad experience with fish I ate other seafood except fish & calamari (I hate squid hadn't tried it don't intend to) anyway I ate some fish & it left a strange acidy taste on my tongue so I never touched it again. So a couple years back I decided to give it another try & now I love salmon but I bake my salmon I get it from Giant Eagle because they have good quality meat & seafood but I do look other places as well but Giant Eagle is my go to place for meat & seafood. I love shrimp it's my favorite so I'll remember to get wild caught shrimp or the already frozen shrimp I will check out Trader Joe's & Costco I just have to get a membership. And Happy Holidays Bobby wish you & your family the best.

I'm not crazy about seafood but I would like to start getting into it. What's your favorite seafood that's not too fishy and what's your favorite preparation?
Thats for the best. Farm raised fish is just paying money for the most toxic meat of any protein source. Id rather not eat fish than eat farm raised fish
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!

• avoid large fish (ex:swordfish) as they contain high mercury content

Hi
Hi
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.
Much awaited video! Thank you for making us aware and giving us the knowledge to make wise decisions to eat healthy🧡💜❤
Can you make a video about tuna in a can to buy? Which brands do you recommend ! 🙏
Thanks to you. I have farm raised salmon frozen and frozen wild caught shrimp. Like you said if you’re not using it right away and it’s never been thawed out. Buy it frozen.
Bobby & Art, thank you for doing this, now it's encourasging to shop for seafood again with confidence. But seems the jury is still out for the farm raised Norway salmon farming practices are causing continued scary unhealty toxic salmon for consumption. Numerous youtube videos go into more details. If this was not considered in this video, please do a follow up educational with us.. thank you
I pointed the same thing out. looks like my comment was removed by Flavcity. Really bad form, I no longer trust Flavcity.
Norway is definitely a terrible offender, but all aquacultures opporate the same way and create the same farm raised product littered with toxins that you couldnt even pay me to eat, say nothing of asking me to pay money for. Very dissapointed he promotes farm raised. I thought he was a smart guy
Agree .. Some people call Norwegian salmon the most toxic food in the world, I love wild king salmon. It isn't nearly as fatty as the Faroe island salmon from Norway. I love Bobby but I think he was misinformed on the famed salmon a tad. All good just not something I will eat. Only wild.
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.
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.
Thanks Bobby and Art. # keep on cooking, mad love and peace.
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.
They're farming seabass and bream now. Sure, it takes pressure off the wild population, but is it safe to consume? I read they use hormones to hatch the fry and antibiotic use is high. What they're fed, I have no idea.
You’re the best!!! I love fish and was waiting for a video like this! Thanks Bobby
You're correct. Four sigmatic products are great. I've been buying their coffees & elixirs for quite some time.
How about video on just Costco seafood
I have mercury from tuna, arsenic from rice, and lead from water flowing through my body. I'm doomed.
Thank you for another informational video! This is great stuff, and an excellent way to get people interested in doing their own research. I bet it was lovely not to worry about Waldos!
I've been buying and enjoying Norwegian farmed salmon from Costco. It's fatty and delicious and it tastes better than wild. I'm a bit concerned and confused when I read so many articles on the Internet stating the farmed Norwegian salmon is not good and it's full of toxins...ugh I like it so much better than the lean wild salmon.
Kudos to the store for permitting you to film! Free advertising!
Would it be better to get the wild caught salmon from Aldi (China) or farm raised from Whole Foods ("ethically farmed")? I can't always afford the good stuff!
I love all your video content.. I'm so grateful for all your work. Thanks a million
I am surprised you don't mention to stay away from anything that has Tripolyphosphate in the ingredients. I've seen it on salmon & shrimp packages.
Wish he would have me mentioned that! I always look at the ingredients and do not buy with that stuff in it.
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
Chef Bobby makes amazing salmon.
Hey Bobby
Do a vid on products that have a warning label because they might cause cancer.
Target website shows that.
Did you know instant pot may have lead !
Also a lot of furniture has that warning.
Just check the product info.
:(
It’s California law to have that warning.
This is the one I was waiting for!
NEEDED THIS A DAY AGO! GREAT VIDEO MAN
Thank you Bobby and Art. Awesome video as always love you guys for what you do. Appreciate that. 👍❤️❤️❤️
Can you do a video on the chinese market fish and meat please!? They sell live fish swimming in the tanks and they have “brown chickens” but what exactly is brown chicken??
Love All your info! Buying your book this week.
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??
Thank you so much. I always get really useful information about food from your videos .
Bobby, Thank you so much. I can go back to eating wild caught shrimp seafood again - informative and helpful.
loving all the info thanks so much, but I am missing more info on the white fish. Which origin is the best, which one to get there?besides avoiding farm raised?
Hey guys! 🤚🏻 My favorite seafood is lobster & crab!🦞🦀 Love this video!💟☮️ #itstheweekend
You are awesome dude. You are educating so many people with this channel on something so important.
Thanks a lot! Two questions? Norwegian or Scottish, Atlantic or Pacific - does it matter? And what about smoked salmon? Thank you!!
looovegoodmusic smoked salmon is the same as regular just smoked for flavor 🤦🏽♂️
What is sushi grade salmon?
Can I use frozen ones since we don’t know how fresh they are in the store and i believe they should be frozen at a certain temperature before eating
Very helpful, Thanks Bobby!
Should canned tuna be wild caught? I’ve only been able to find wild caught albacore tuna in cans. You mentioned albacore is high in mercury. So what kind of canned tuna should we be buying? I don’t want to eat a ton of omega 6S from farmed tuna. But I also don’t want to eat a ton of Mercury from wild caught albacore tuna.
CHUNK LIGHT TUNA
Use live two blocks fromRainbow Beach south side from South Shore Hospital.Went down to the Navy pier to get fresh fish all the time. Now I live in a landlocked state and I miss it
Thank you for all the great information. I've learned a lot from you. I will buy Chunk light tuna. I always bought albacore.
Great advice Bobby I'm getting into eating salmon because in the past I had a bad experience with fish I ate other seafood except fish & calamari (I hate squid hadn't tried it don't intend to) anyway I ate some fish & it left a strange acidy taste on my tongue so I never touched it again. So a couple years back I decided to give it another try & now I love salmon but I bake my salmon I get it from Giant Eagle because they have good quality meat & seafood but I do look other places as well but Giant Eagle is my go to place for meat & seafood. I love shrimp it's my favorite so I'll remember to get wild caught shrimp or the already frozen shrimp I will check out Trader Joe's & Costco I just have to get a membership. And Happy Holidays Bobby wish you & your family the best.
Thank you so much for this video! Now I know how to shop for seafood!!!
Apparently, you haven't seen some of the documentaries about the salmon fish farms in Norway.....
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!!!!
Bobby, what about the farm raised salmon at whole foods?
Literally all farm raised fish is terrible. 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.
@@Artbug I wasn’t stunned. His video would be down if he said no to USA farmed fish. He’s loyal to his sponsors and who pays him.
Awesome, thank you for breaking down the good and bad
Used to catch smelt here in Milwaukee on Lake Michigan. Good eating!
Great info on toxic shampoo, food etc. Thank you
Can you do a video On kid juices or kids snacks?
I'm not crazy about seafood but I would like to start getting into it. What's your favorite seafood that's not too fishy and what's your favorite preparation?
My bf also doesn’t like the fishy taste but he loves salmon because it tastes the most like meat
If the package says farm raised I pass on it. Unfortunately where I live that’s about all I can find.
Thats for the best. Farm raised fish is just paying money for the most toxic meat of any protein source. Id rather not eat fish than eat farm raised fish
No Costco in your area?
Farm raised pesticide enriched..yummy
What about "Farm Raise USA shrimp?" We have a shrimp farm an hour or so away from us and that is where our supermarket gets it from.
Great job , really looking forward to more seafood recipes in the future
What about Ecuadorian farm raised shrimp? they do have the best practices and the shrimp is the best as well
