Now I want to see a documentary about how polluted the Mississippi River is and the chemicals found in American catfish. I wish pollution can be reduced in any river.
all i see in Canadian grocery stores is basa tolupia and the other 5 names they give this fish to throw us off. farmed in Vietnam and some loop hole allows them to bring it here and sell it to people from grocery stores.
Just gotta eat only salt water fish, we have good salmon , cod , red snapper here, or anything that is of North American or European origin. 9 years later and I still found basa in the super market yesterday here in Ontario.
I am not allergic to fish but I ordered fish in a 5 star hotel in India and they served me basa. 5 hours later i threw up like i never did in life. I was close to death and it was just coz of my strong immune system that I was saved. Six months later exactly the same sequence reoccured to me in a different hotel that served me this cheap fish for an expensive price. I bet you have one fillet of basa and you would feel like puking after a couple of hours
Trust me people.....this was a very real event and cost me now over $3,500 and two days in the hospital and I have never been allergic to fish. It is real that the contaiminated water of Vietnam and the fish that come from it caused this to happen to me.
In the town I live in.3 restaurants were all raided for selling this to customers on Wednesday.The fish were sold as catfish.This is in Louisiana. The restaurants are all owned by the same ppl.They said they knew where it came from but did not know they could not call it "catfish" .This is happening ppl.
+Michael Ball And yet our government still allows this to be imported and fed to the American people. How does this happen? Our officials are paid to look the other way and allow these dangerous product to be imported from Asia.
US catfish farmers forced Vietnamese catfish to be not called catfish, 6 years later they want to force it to be called catfish again. I like SWAI/BASA fish!
The FDA would not allow this fish to be sold in our stores if it was unsafe to eat. I have eaten it and had no ill effects from it. It is actually quite good.
LOL YOU ARE A FOOL IF YOU THINK THE FDA WCNT ALLOW BS IN THE USA🙄🙄🙄🙄 DO BE NAIVE!!!!!!! What about the TV commercials advertising medicine. Taking this medicine the side effects can produce vomiting headaches nausea blood clots rapid heartbeat 🙄🙄🤐
this is an old story told by people that want to protect their own business, In November 2000, a delegation of about 20 visitors, including professors from the Auburn University (Alabama) and catfish raising and processing companies went on a fact-finding tour in the Mekong Delta region of Vietnam. They made detailed surveys of the actual conditions of feeding and farming, for fish both in floating cages and inland ponds. They also visited various processing plants. At the conclusion of the tour, they praised the farming technology and equipment applied for fish breeding, feeding and farming; and found no grounds to lodge complaint about food safety and hygiene conditions throughout the processing cycle. At that time, if the Pangasius processing industry in Vietnam had problems, the US Food & Drug Administration (FDA) would have banned the import of our Pangasius products, but this was obviously not the case
this american catches all his catfish right here in illinois. i havent had the need to buy catfish in over 20 years. caught 173 this year. and only kept 1/2. plenty for the family.
According to the video 85 million pounds of these fish are imported and eaten by Americans every year. I don't remember reading any stories of anybody being poisoned of dying from eating these fish. I do remember however reading stories of illnesses and recalls due to salmonella in US farms and produce. And Americans dying from ecoli picked up at US fast food places with American beef. So what's the agenda behind this video?
+George Gadsby This really does reek of propaganda. Sounds like domestic fish farms aren't liking the competition? Have anyone who's jumping on the wagon never seen a pig farm or chicken farm?
If you look at USA section of supermarket in the European Union, what products are even allowed there have EU compliant labels which show as USA doesn't label genetically modified ingredients they're more likely to contain them. Reese's Pieces contain GM and colourings which cause hyperactivity in children
PIGS IN PIG FARMS ARE NOT IMMERSED IN SOLUTION. FISH BREATH THE CHEMICAL SOLUTION AND INSTANTLY ABSORB CHEMICALS THRU GILLS. AVOID FARMED FISH, AND LEARN YOUR FOOD ORIGINS --- FIRST. VERY TRUE SCIENCE. CORPORATIONS PAY FOR FALSE SCIENCE = STUDY.
There is nothing wrong with genetically modified organisms. There's zero scientific evidence they are any more harmful than conventional. Stop spreading that pseudoscience.
I bet I've studied more science then you. You're just brainwashed to accept companies feeding us rubbish to make money. Plus even if there is nothing wrong with it, people still have a right to know if they're eating it. More and more people are going back to ancient grains as they have problem with modern grains, and you think it's a good idea to not care they're messing more with our food.
We are not interested in water quality. We are interested in analyzing the flesh. You have these tests? You have the evidence? That's the question and it is subject. Your message problem is that if you go to a lab and analyzed meat, analysis will show that the meat is good. That's the problem, not the Mekong River.
Fish consumption is hazardous to our health, but it is humans who are "dangerous." If you eat seafood, opt for the many marvelous vegan versions there are of virtually every type of seafood imaginable. They're better for us, for the other animals, and for the environment. They're also delicious! Google: vegan seafood resources.
O.o just had some...o well, I'm sure all the evil bacteria have died in the cooking, everyone knows that there's poop everywhere.....animals poop too...in the sea, rivers, springs, grass, woods, cities, parks, then the rain washes it all down....we live happily among filth we can't see or smell, once we do its "oh so gross!"
Susan Fisher please, your information is wrong!! Sushi only eat fish from DEEP SEA (like Tuna) it all natural, not fish farm Btw, i'm Vietnamese. This is fails news!! I'm mad cause of stupid news leading people's mistake information This is MEKONG DELTA (please check out about Mekong Delta, it was start from Nepal, Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia, then Vietnam) then the river will flowing to the sea!! It's like open-river Cause of the landcape (i don't know how to write it in English) so the river look red. But it like open-river, very big river, it will lead all the dirty to the sea. And we do clean the river as well. Vietnamese food products import to Japan, US, Europe country we're have many TEST until it approved safe!! You think we just take it in the bags then fly to others country to sales? products have been test, test, test to avoid toxic!! Japanese is one of hardest country when it come to import foods after test certified If you think this is dirty and toxic, pork is more worse!! But i argee, always eat great-shishi from certified grades restaurant no matter what. But for the cooking shrimp & fish, it not problems.
good for you but my uncle has a catfish farm and we farm normal channel catfish from america. it's a simple pond with all same size catfish at a reasonable frequency and he kills them at about 3-6 pounds. Easy, safe, humane.
Most of the farms are situated near inlet streams that feed into the Mekong. That water is runoff from the Himalayas. Irregardless of that, the Mekong is not even in the top 20 most polluted rivers, whereas the Mississippi is frequently ranked in the top 5. Complete propaganda from an industry afraid to compete and would rather just make up BS stories about another countries fishing industry.
George Gadsby - two months ago, I ate fish tacos made from this fish (unknowingly). I sufferred a severe anaphylactic shock and had to be transported by ambulance and spent two days in the hospital. Not sure how many others have suffered this reaction but I have never been allergic to fish. The hospital attributed my near death experience to the fish tacos. There is a lawsuit pending now but I guarantee that this was contaminated fish and CAUSED A NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE.
We have to be careful for eating fish from Asia, especially raised by Vietnamese firm. A lot people died of this unsafe foods from the region. Please take care of your health and not eating fish from Vietnam.
Totally disgusting. I don't purchase anything from Asia. Their standards are not the same as ours. I purchase fish from a local grocer who has signs, in front of the fish, which tells what country the fish are coming from ...another grocer does not carry fish from Asia any more because they were losing money as people weren't buying the fish.. My mother likes basa so I will forward this video to her (I'm pretty sure it's safe because she purchases from both grocers).
Yeah I guess because firstly I'd rather eat something else, second the nutritional value, thirdly the way the food is made or what it is made from is also questionable. It's all can be debated but really it comes down to being able to have so many other kinds of food I would really prefer to spend my money elsewhere.
Actually No Because most fish that are in US markets are farm raised and Basa (Type of Swai) ORIGINATED from the Mekong Delta but are usually farmed now in separate water and pens. I know about this because i'm Viet My family is in Fishing business and has farms in Ho Chi Minh City.

What about humans who eattt.. on each other everyday, I assumed this it’s safe but I’m told I don’t know what I’m missing. So heck if they can eat on humans raw, I guess cooked fish grown in pooped shouldn’t fades them 😳😳😳😳🥴🥴🥴🙃🙃🙃🫣🫣
This video is full of rhetoric from the USA catfish farming industries. They showed you the worst images of homes on the river and never even showed you a farm right next to the homes of businesses. They are jealous because they have lost more than 20% of their business to more tasty competition. Swai is absolutely delicious... Ever wonder why it's called swai? Because they lobbied for it not to be called catfish and now since it didn't work they want it's name to be changed back to catfish.
very fun video, very exciting channel. I hope my channel is advanced like this ... videos like this have always been my idol for success. Greetings one hobby friend. pray for my channel.
Poor people making a living?! How could they?! Serve ME fish they caught!? Fillited cleaned fish served to me for a cheaper price?! Blasphemous! If your business is going to sell an unsafe product to save a buck, and then you are going to blame the fishermen you all are barking up the wrong tree smh Be more concerned about a business cutting corners for a buck than a poor fisherman trying to make a living
The Mekong is a very clean river (read the science yourself). This video is full of rubbish and lies produced by American catfish producers who can't stand the competition.
I bought a huge, cheap bag of fillets... had two fillets over two days...I am now reading about how bad Basa while sweating on the toilet. worst Christmas ever.
Vietnamese water are polluted but look this way most these Vietnamese live pretty long lives compare to Americans .. they been eating these fish all their lives.. however.. we as American eat garbage meat , fish , poultry loaded with low dose of antibiotic and hormone ,, hence most European countries and Taiwan ban our export meat..there is big reason for this ,, its cause our body to build tolerance for drugs..soon less and less drug is effective ,, and our body to developed untreatable super bugs that are very extremely hard to get rid off...American suffer most inflammatory disease then any other nation,, and you wonder why this is happening ,,.not to mention our drinking water is deliberately polluted with left over fertilizer chemical call fluoride ,, i would much rather drinking water from mekong river then drink water loaded with fluoride .. atleast human waste water won't killed you ..
+JixelJwn This is flatout wrong. Too much fluoride will cause dental fluorosis and will rot them straight out of your mouth. Fluoride is a toxin and we're cooking with it, drinking it, bathing in it.. Teeth require good hygiene and a proper diet, not fluoride.
"they been eating these fish all their lives.. however.. we as American eat garbage meat , fish , poultry loaded with low dose of antibiotic and hormone" with diction like this I highly doubt you're american. Also asian foods contain far more antibiotics than american ones, antibiotics which are recklessly administered to the extent that they're creating antibiotic-resistant diseases which could ruin modern medicine. A post like this feels far more like you have an agenda than anyone else
I had bought this fish, and after defrosting it, smell like phosphate, and taste like nothing, when pan fry, I just can't eat it, so I through the 10 pounds box in the trashcan😶
The fish became super cheap due to the fish having fast growth rate, the tech to farm them is inexpensive and feed is heavily subsidies. However, because it so cheap it could hinder open market and over compete(America) foreign local caught fisheries. There's always a trade off, Don't be fooled.
Come on folks ain't that bad. Just few pieces of poops ok....The toilet is built right on to the catfish cages where people drop their loads FYI. The river is pretty big, it dilute all that nasty shit. Problem is over population and antibiotics use in the feed. The Vietnamese in Vietnam don't eat Basa they mostly eat locally caught fish
@@bobkinsley8083 Long ago had 6 of them in 60 gal & only fed them pellets. On avg They were 6" long. They did not grow fast or noticeably in my experience. Kept them for 3 yr. Wish I still had them. If could find them in that size might start up again.

The Mississippi is vastly cleaner.
Catfish are almost entirely farm raised in the USA, the Mississippi River is much less polluted.

Basa is one of the catfish species. It is a popular catfish species cultured commercially in Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos.
Excellent production! I would love to know the credits that are due.
Let have second thought before buying these products. Please share with consumers
Right now I am finishing the last fillet from my frozen bag of swai. DAMN that was some good fish, but I think I might detox my system now lol
Always research food before you buy and eat it
In the town I live in.3 restaurants were all raided for selling this to customers on Wednesday.The fish were sold as catfish.This is in Louisiana. The restaurants are all owned by the same ppl.They said they knew where it came from but did not know they could not call it "catfish" .This is happening ppl.
These restaurants were quite popular here.This is happening in our grocery stores and restaurants....
If ever there was a time to grow your own food it's now.
+Michael Ball And yet our government still allows this to be imported and fed to the American people. How does this happen? Our officials are paid to look the other way and allow these dangerous product to be imported from Asia.
Freddie B My grand father used to say "if you want a job doing right do it yourself."
Your grand father was right. I used to by fish at the store; now I either catch it my self or by it as it is brought in on the boats.
Freddie B Good to know Freddie, you really can't trust many people these days and I'm hoping to become more self sufficient with food.
Michael Ball sorry for leading you back to this comment, but we are in Covid-19 pandemic right now and I read it 4 months ago.

I love Basa. So can we send a team of scientists over there to teach them how to do things right so I can keep eating basa?
@LoveEverton John
Some hair, not a problem
perfect, i just finished eating about 10 fillets of basa
damn this is not cool, human beings live here, damn something needs to be done.
the agenda is clear. we are consuming very low grade fish and i for one am glad to learn the origins of basa as i have eaten this one. never again
Wait so is this real? If so are fish from Vietnam 'still' dangerous to eat? Please reply, I just bought some fishes that are from there..

I'm sorry, but basa and pangasius are not the same thing as Cat fish!
Anyway , if any of these it comes from Vietnam, KEEP YOUR DISTANCES !!!
+dalexdalex its shark catfish
Poor people making a living?! How could they?! Serve ME fish they caught!? Fillited cleaned fish served to me for a cheaper price?! Blasphemous!

This river is cleaner then Brisbane river and American river.
That looks like swia
Never never eat basa fish or any other cat fish. They are cheap but poisonous.
I bought a huge, cheap bag of fillets... had two fillets over two days...I am now reading about how bad Basa while sweating on the toilet. worst Christmas ever.
saw this shit in my fridge had to googlr..thank god I did

Fuck I shall never eat fish fillet in restaurant again.
Ask where the fish come from, the restaurant must tell you where it come from.
Vietnamese water are polluted but look this way most these Vietnamese live pretty long lives compare to Americans .. they been eating these fish all their lives.. however.. we as American eat garbage meat , fish , poultry loaded with low dose of antibiotic and hormone ,, hence most European countries and Taiwan ban our export meat..there is big reason for this ,, its cause our body to build tolerance for drugs..soon less and less drug is effective ,, and our body to developed untreatable super bugs that are very extremely hard to get rid off...American suffer most inflammatory disease then any other nation,, and you wonder why this is happening ,,.not to mention our drinking water is deliberately polluted with left over fertilizer chemical call fluoride ,, i would much rather drinking water from mekong river then drink water loaded with fluoride .. atleast human waste water won't killed you ..
You lost me when you said fluoride was bad. Fluoride is needed for teeth hence the reason dentists give people fluoride rinses for teeth.
+JixelJwn This is flatout wrong. Too much fluoride will cause dental fluorosis and will rot them straight out of your mouth. Fluoride is a toxin and we're cooking with it, drinking it, bathing in it..
Teeth require good hygiene and a proper diet, not fluoride.
"they been eating these fish all their lives.. however.. we as American eat garbage meat , fish , poultry loaded with low dose of antibiotic and hormone" with diction like this I highly doubt you're american. Also asian foods contain far more antibiotics than american ones, antibiotics which are recklessly administered to the extent that they're creating antibiotic-resistant diseases which could ruin modern medicine. A post like this feels far more like you have an agenda than anyone else
No more basa for me.🤮🤮
What do people expect...dirty people dirty food
Eat vegetables, grow them
yes its dangerous as a whole bad practice but no it wont kill you today
......and American rivers are so clean you can drink right from the banks? NOPE. Swai = delicious. Stop the BS.
Please look into the history of the lobbyists at the Catfish Farmers of America before you take this propaganda too seriously.
It's called poverty.
FUCK THAT. propaganda or not. I would prefer to choose wild caught locally sourced fish for $3 more a kilo.
did you know that Vietnam live life to 100 or more years old in world standard? because thy eat fish, and live in the neutral environment.
Absolute lie. 75.15 years in Vietnam. Look it up !
Im a Vietnamese n this clip is the reality. I never wanna eat or sleep nor visit that hell.
you're vietnamese and you called this place hell, make sense,...
no, it's called typical human behaviour...
I had bought this fish, and after defrosting it, smell like phosphate, and taste like nothing, when pan fry, I just can't eat it, so I through the 10 pounds box in the trashcan😶
The fish became super cheap due to the fish having fast growth rate, the tech to farm them is inexpensive and feed is heavily subsidies. However, because it so cheap it could hinder open market and over compete(America) foreign local caught fisheries. There's always a trade off, Don't be fooled.
Come on folks ain't that bad. Just few pieces of poops ok....The toilet is built right on to the catfish cages where people drop their loads FYI.
The river is pretty big, it dilute all that nasty shit. Problem is over population and antibiotics use in the feed.
The Vietnamese in Vietnam don't eat Basa they mostly eat locally caught fish
Vietnames
Not rich as white people.
?
And we buy this crap!
Panga is banned as a pet in aqua hobby because supposed endangered I think. Yet they are killed by the tons for food. Makes sense? 🤨

Banned in much of the pet trade because they grow real big real quick...they dont call them tank busters for nothing
@@bobkinsley8083 Long ago had 6 of them in 60 gal & only fed them pellets. On avg They were 6" long. They did not grow fast or noticeably in my experience. Kept them for 3 yr. Wish I still had them. If could find them in that size might start up again.
eww
Disgusting!!!!
lol you call this a heavily polluted waters? do you even know the actual situation? this video is just a joke
this is an old story told by people that want to protect their own business, In November 2000, a delegation of about 20 visitors, including professors from the Auburn University (Alabama) and catfish raising and processing companies went on a fact-finding tour in the Mekong Delta region of Vietnam.
They made detailed surveys of the actual conditions of feeding and farming, for fish both in floating cages and inland ponds. They also visited various processing plants. At the conclusion of the tour, they praised the farming technology and equipment applied for fish breeding, feeding and farming; and found no grounds to lodge complaint about food safety and hygiene conditions throughout the processing cycle. At that time, if the Pangasius processing industry in Vietnam had problems, the US Food & Drug Administration (FDA) would have banned the import of our Pangasius products, but this was obviously not the case
copy from a smart man
😂sure
You are the kind of spinless rag that takes money to lie benefiting yourself while you know what's being done is wrong
