If the fish have fins & scaled this is safe to eat and clean. don't believe this BS about tilapia and orange roughy they are safe to eat and also cheap. The rest is high in mercury if not its toxic or deadly.
My relatives eats fish in your video but they live until on their 80' s 90's & my grand parents live until 100's . I'm already 67 but healthy eating those fish. Even in Japan fish and vegetables they live the most 100's in this planet.
I ate eels as a youth and now have severe heart desease, so I can't refute that. Most of all folks, avoid the cigarette fish, it's a killer. Thanks for the video.
I'm sorry but it wasn't the eels that gave you a heart attack, Londoners have been eating jellied eels for centuries and don't have any higher death rate from heart attacks than anyone else. These posters just like the sound of their own voice.
@@ianmatthew5824 I was joking, you should never start typing a reply before you've finished reading the material you're replying to. I can't hear my own voice when I'm typing, but I agree that there are many posters who only feel complete when showing the world how empty thier heads are. You just outed yourself there.
You intended for it to be jokey but intentions are not enough. It takes goid execution. There was nothing to indicate the first part was jokey. You outed yourself for having a poor sense of humor, like those self satisfied guys who laugh at their jokes
My parents have been eating these kind of fish, like tilapia since birth yet they have reach more than 80. We usually over eat tilapia because we are in fishpond business but we are still generally healthy in our 60s.
We need to remember when making these statements that the world today is not the same as it was 50yrs ago. Environments are much more polluted albeit deliberately impacting on the food chain. It is also important to remember that every gut biome is different and some can handle contaminants much better than others. If you have an omega 3 rich diet sôme omega 6 fish won’t kill you!
I ate canned tuna 3-8 times a week for the last 7 years. I’m really concerned I have mercury poisoning but I don’t know if I do… I have a lot of new memory problems and have had some weird tremors / muscle weakness. I’m addicted to tuna so I’m trying to only eat 2-4x a month now 😢
I also loved eating eel when living in Japan since it’s very common there and had it at least once a week 😢 I didn’t know it’s so bad for us and that they’re endangered :(
But then again, this is one of those things you sort of also have to weigh out. As with most things, if it's moderated or low intake, you may be OK. Too much of anything (even good stuff like Vitamin C and B12 for example) can have negative effects. It's all about moderation. Luckily I don't eat tuna that often, and definitely less than once a week and probably more like one a month if that. There is also other factors to consider like the age of the person (obviously children are probably worse off than adults, since their mental and cognitivie abilities are still developing, even though it's not good for anyone -- some are less effected by others), and then again, the amount you intake. I think there may also be a certain degree of toxins in most fish (except maybe less in some of the fresh water fish).
It's never been a problem for me to avoid Tilapia because I hate their flavor!!! All of my life I ate lots of fish but it's just common sense to eat smaller fish not only because they taste better but they're also healthier & have less toxins like Mercury accumulated in their flesh!!!
That’s a great point! Smaller fish generally have lower mercury levels and often taste better. Sticking to healthier options is always a smart choice for your diet!
I heard that canned Pink Salmon is healthier for you than wild caught or farm raised Pink Salmon. I also heard that wild caught Catfish are healthier for you than farm raised Catfish. I used to catch & eat lots of channel catfish & big yellow bullheads but I noticed the channel catfish didn't taste as good & were mushy when they were over two pounds so I always let the bigger ones go. With bullheads, they were always very good eating. That's when came to a conclusion about bigger fish. I'd like to know how heathy wild catfish & bullheads are with mercury levels!!!
I think that most of these fish that have high toxicity are the ones that have dark lateral lines,either brown or red. Tilapia & Mackerels have a brown lateral line & a pungent flavor & they're also toxic. Might be that that lateral line is the culprit.
Regarding of Tilapia. If you give them high omega 3 source food like algae, some of veggies and water plant. This fish will have higher ratio of omega 3 and 6.
Tilapia were orignally found in Africa and growing up in Tanzania in the 1960s were available fresh from Lake Rukwa. We dd not get them frequently but possibly living in their natural habitat, they were more nutritious and suited to the dietary needs of the surrounding inhabitants. Just an observation. Many intensively farmed products are not always as nutritious as when grown more naturally and production to satisfy commercial consumer standards entails using pesticdes, growth hormones etc.
Just bought a bag of Tilapia fish from Walmart for the first time. I don't want to throw my food away so I plan to BLESS it and cook it and eat it. But now I'm informed. Thank you.
Tilapia being on the list is BS. Tilapia is only high in omega 6 if the fish was farmed with a diet rich in corn. Granted corn based feed is the most common way they are farmed. Even still lots of stuff common in Americans diets has more omega 6 than Tilapia. Such as beef, lamb, milk, cheese, butter, chicken, turkey, pork, cooking oils, salad dressings and mayonnaise. So unless you've already cut all that stuff out of your diet there is no reason to even consider not having Tilapia. Personally I eat Tilapia 8 or 10 times a year, I eat one or more of those other things almost daily.
Some few years ago , on thexadvice if myvson I did a bit of research into aquaphonics: the raisingof vegetables in water using the nitrates from the fish excreta to fertilise the growing vegetables. In warmer ciuntrues, such as in Africa, tilapia were recommended - not becausebtheyveerebnsturally found there but because they naturally feed on vegetable matter. So you ca n use the surplus vegetable matter you are growing to feed the fish. I do not know of the situation in Thailand or other areas were tilapia are grown commercially as to what they are fed. I have not had the opportunity to try this for myself andxwasnnotxat all impressed by tilapia I once bought locally from a supermarket in Siuth Africa. I offer it as an example as to how different methods of feeding fish on a commercial basis can well impact on their nutritional value.
Tilapia is a staple food in my homeland… To be precise in the Lake Victoria region in Kenya. Never heard of any alarming health issues resulting from consumption of Tilapia in that region. And it is the most common fish being consumed in Kenya at large.
Most Farm bred Salmon have a Bright Red Orange colored flesh. That's because of the feed they're are given has artificial colorant to make their color seemed nicer. It's the same with Aquarium food. They add colorant to make the fish more brighter.
actually the color depends on the species. For example sockeye is very red, but is usually wild caught. You should look at the fat lines instead to tell. Farm-raised have thick, obvious fat lines.
I'm 76 years old now. When I was 18 years old I worked for an old rich guy doing yard work on a few of his rental houses, and he and I got to be friends. One day when I got there one of his sisters was there complaining to him about his drinking and smoking, and saying that he has one foot in the grave (I remember thinking that she looked worse than he did). After she left he said to me "Hell, I don't want to live to be a thousand years old."
A couple of months ago I was cleaning out a pantry and ended up using some old canned sardines. It sent me down a sardine rabbit hole that has been an eye opener and a complete surprise. Maybe I was an apex predator fish in a previous life but I'm now obsessed with the taste of these smaller bait fish like sardines and anchovies, that are just packed with flavor. Talapia, rockfish and other whitefish are just kind of bland to me now, Sardines, anchovies and trout are also extremely cheap when compared to other proteins spiking inflation.
at every Filipino store in the US, they sell sardines for cheap (LESS than $1 per can) , and healthy! You can't beat that with a budget. I've been to the Philippine islands, and you see these fisherman who are around 60-70 (yeah, they tell me their age) but they look 40-50, they eat sardines, dilis and bangus. Crazy..
You ARE an apex predator of all living things. Your are a human. That means You are death incarnate. Better than the alternative. If it moves, kill it and eat it. On Earth, sky or water.
I love fish but only certain fishes, cod, anchovies, tuna, trout, rockfish and salmon, but I prefer Atlantic salmon and love Scottish salmon when I can afford it. Also love shellfish. I don't eat tuna and rockfish often because of contamination.
I have not had Scottish salmon being an American who has never been to the UK. My favorite salmon is copper river sockeye salmon. It is the first salmon that I ever tried and definitely the best. At least to me it is. It's rich without being cloying, meaty without being heavy and just really flavorful. I also like both kinds of rockfish, Atlantic bass and Pacific perch. I only eat wild caught fish and only pole caught tuna, because it is a much more sustainable method that also reduces by catch. I love shellfish too and only eat wild caught.
You should also follow local advisories. Fish in lake Michigan have suggested limits, and if you happen to be pregnant, there are even more kinds of fish you shouldn't eat. Some fish in an area may also have parasites.
@@peterolbrisch8970 "You didn't answer his question at all. He didn't about pollution. He asked would cooking be enough to kill the parasites. I am also curious about this question 😅."
This is why i'm happy i was taught to love beans and rice as a kid. With the cost of heart healthy fish being totally out of my budget for now (well, with the exception of sardines) i'm happy to have an inflation proof protein source. Great video as always.
Tasty Fish : White Cod, Red Garoupa, Silver Promfret, Golden Promfret, Soon Hock (Lake/River), Dragon Tiger Garoupa, Wild Cat Fish (steam) 1.5kg to 2kg size, Japanese Saba Mackerel (Grill)
I was raised on fried herring in my native Germany. Fortunately it's very available and tastes great. Vita makes it in wine or cream sauce. I go for Bratherring. On boiled potatoes.
@@mikegriffin8403 → Mike, you are only partly correct. Yes, deep frying in seed or vegetable oils is toxic not just because of the bad oil but the high heat creates carcinogens. However, lightly frying in animal fats or avocado/coconut oil is perfectly safe as they are not toxic and contain omega 3. The Bratherring is extremely healthy not just because fish has healthy oils but they also leave in the bones (hardly noticeable) which is collagen. I like Rügen Fisch packed in marinade which does have some carbs (6g). Love the taste.
I was about to have my Tilapia dish. I've decided to eat at my own risk for today. At least I don't eat all the other fish listed here I think everything we eat is contaminated with chemicals anyway, our options are getting very limited.
Good video. About 3 years ago I caught my first fish and ate it. Let me tell you, it was 100 times better and fresher than any fish in any market. Now I only eat fish that I catch that same day. Mostly trout and salmon. 👍
You should educate yourself about where you are fishing. For instance, Illinois and Wisconsin DNR's both recommend that people eat no more than 4 ounces of Salmon or trout from Lake Michigan in a month! Due to Mercury content. There's not many places in the world where the fish are safe to eat.
Thanks for making this informative video. We eat wild salmon (not farmed ones), sardines, anchovies, grouper. Both salmon and tuna are considered red meat, so we chose salmon over tuna.
Plus mahi-mahi, dolphin fish, and many similar top predators are classified as not safe yet they are frequently in restaurants because of their mild tastes.
I don't care for any of those mentioned to avoid. Especially tilapia. I don't understand the big deal about it. I'm thrilled to see that four of my favorite fish, including my top two - salmon and tuna - are on the good list. (Cod tends to be my go-to at restaurants unless salmon is on the menu.) I inherently knew this already, which is why I eat them. Besides the fact I enjoy their flavor and texture.
One of my neighbors told me that anchovies are good on pizza. I've never tried it and I heard it's very salty. Like the saying goes, don't knock it till you try it.
Every time I see videos like this, I'm glad the UK has at least for now, got good food safety standards. I just hope it stays that way. Don't eat any sharks, the fishing of them is immensely cruel. Freshwater baby eel are a UK delicacy. They are only fished from controlled areas. But still best avoided, just in case. All these fish you mentioned are available in all good supermarket. I highly recommend keeping bottled anchovies in your fridge, as a good additive to pasta dishes and other recipes. Always read the label on tinned fish, to prevent buying junk. Tuna, salmon and trout are available as pate, but make sure it's made with a low fat ingredient.
We don't eat fish very often. When we do eat fish it is sardine, tuna, trout, and cod. The best price is farm raised trout at Costco for $3.99 per lbs. We never eat any of the fish on this list...the eel gives me shivers, looks like a snake...LOL! If I fished I would eat trout, bass, bluegill, and crappie...but I live in California, so the fishing is terrible in this State. My brother and I caught 14 larger Jack Smelt, (around 12"), on the Santa Cruz Pier, they contain these white stringed parasites in them. We gave them to an Asian Couple and they thanked us for dinner. We were the only ones on the Pier that caught anything that day. We were also snagging a lot of anchovies for bait, they don't count as fish to me....
So giving parasite ridden fish to others ? Why not just throw them back . Where I live I can catch pail fulls of a fish called Rock Bass ( basically a larger "glorified" Sunfish) . Fun to catch but LOADED with these little white worms . I just throw Them back . There are places where these Fish don't have those worms and they are quite tasty . I also limit what I keep so as to not be part of the reason for fish being depleted .
Being ignorant can shorten your life ! If you knew in what kind of water in Asia ( where most Tilapia comes from) the Tilapia swims in, you would not touch it !!!! I used to eat Tilapia but not anymore !0
WOW! I love salmon, I'll stick with that. What about Mahi Mahi? So good they named it twice. I used to love Talapia, Orange Roughie, Sea Bass, and occasionally Swordfish. When I was pregnant I stayed away from Mercury fish tuna etc. Thank you for this game changing update. I know now, stick with Omega 3's. Salmon. ❤. I'll pass this along. ♥️✨🧜
King Mackerel are known as Spanish Mackerel here in Australia. I've been eating them from our clean waters for 50 years. They are the mainstay of Fish and Chips across tropical Australia.
As an ex marine biologist (I specialised in Gray Whales) I always wondered about the toxicity of bottom feeding fish species such as halibut ,flounders and so on Do you have any advice about these ?
You are so right. There are so many things that were considered good for us back in the 70s, milk for example. Now if it isn't a special almond milk or something it's no good. I've been drinking juices, instead of soda. Went in for a physical, the doc advised me to stop with the juices. Apparently, the acid is not good for your insides
I have same concerns! I had ciguatera fish poisoning, a neurotoxic poisoning, likely from often from conch fritters in the Bahamas, I suffered for a year. Due to small amount of fish, i guess i was lucky. I learned it is Most common in the ground-feeders, inc grouper, & in red snapper, & in general in warmer waters. I didnt eat fish for years afraid that, since the toxin remained in my fat cells, as i guess it does in fish (the bigger they get, the more dangerous to eat due to accumulated toxins), i might get sick again or die if i consumed more of the toxin. The ciguatera neurotoxin is not destroyed by heat (cooking) or freezing. This is all 30+ year old info im relaying so you may know more up to date info. Eventually tho i started to eat fish again, but mostly just salmon & tuna (canned😊)
I have been eating a lot of flounder a long with other fish for 50yrs now & still in great health. (Although I have not eaten animal meat for 10 years now), Think It really depends on where your fish come from. The fish I eat are far from any city. I live in New Zealand, so not too much pollution down here. You would not want to eat too much whale meat lol think some are pretty heavy in toxic metals. I think people should worry more about their veg than fish. There is a lot of pesticides & chemicals used that do us no good. Also farming of animals is terrible in some places. Look at pork production. (mostly the reason I stopped eating meat) lots of Pigs are just fed huge amounts of waste foods that are unfit for humans. So why is that fine to give to them then eat the pig? Go take a look at any pig farm. I have yet to see a good one. I used to live about a mile from one & the smell was appalling.
@@chadillac365 agreed, though unless you catch mahi mahi yourself and eat it same day (freezing destroys flavour and texture) it’s a rare treat to indulge in. They are also perhaps the most beautiful coloured fish…they are excellent game fish 🎣 too.
Mercury concentrations would depend on where the fish live. In Australia, Spanish (king) mackerel is a very popular food fish. Ciguatera is a concern with any large predatory fish in coral reef areas, but on the Australian coast, (apart from major industrial areas) mercury isn't so much.
But but but if it's not American, then it's not worth talking about. This is the typical attitude I see virtually everywhere. It's as if we don't exist, till America wants help with another war they've started.
@@antoniolim3973 ever heard about coherent sentences? Try it sometime, and stop throwing around lazy crap, expecting others to know what you're talking about.
Toxins depend on where it is caught. Narrow-barred mackerel (bigger than your king mackerel) is a wonderful healthy fish in tropical Australia, and sent throughout the country. No mercury.
Mahi Mahi is a fish forgotten here. It is a Palegic and swims in very clean ocean water riding currents. As long as they are young. Also, they are plentiful.
Mahi Mahi is a great tasting fish. I only eat Mahi wild caught and Alaskan Coho or Sockeye Salmon. I eat it 3 days a week. I'm almost 75 and walk 3 miles a day. You are what you eat.. Los Angeles : )
I usually stay away from bottom- feeders and farmed salmon. I love sardines , especially young sprats from Portugal and Morocco because the local sardines have too many worms . I eat trout , wild salmon and cod from Canadian maritimes . I also buy low sodium canned tuna and it usually is Skipjack.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH Heart Disease Code for providing the TH-cam Community with such important heart healthy information. Many of the fish I eat are on this list. Stay HAPPY and HEALTHY! 😊😊 🌺🌻🌺
My mother is allready 94yrs old and i allways remember that our viand or ulam is paksiw na tilapia ..why in this world we will worry eating tilapia? F thats only the fud our kababayan can afford for ulam!!
Thanks for the information. I am surprised to learn that eel is the number one fish that you shouldn’t eat. I think eels are farmed now as the demand is high at Asia. But not sure how ‘clean’ the eel farms are. Does it mean eels are more susceptible to toxins?
Can you make a video about the usual fish in the Philippines like galunggong, salmon, milk fish, dilis I just want to know more about the healthier fish in the market. I'm sure it will gives you alot of viewers by doing that.
Wag ka maniwala sa gonggong na yan, family friend namin may punerarya, sabi nya karamihan na senerbisyuhan nya na matatanda na edad 90plus dito sa amin ay taga lake at tilapia ang staple food nila
I like matabaka(?) It's pretty much a type of mackerel. Milk fish is pretty safe as far from what I've seen on the list of safe fish to eat. Either way, I would still eat all the fish listed. But in moderation. I've lived on fish, veggies and eggs for 18 years and I'm still alive. Even eating freshly caught tuna on the weekly, still alive.
My father was a Commercial fisherman for 34 years we ate cat fish carp spoonbill & Oysters were also great. Now a days there is so much pollutants in the rivers that they worry me so I make sure it's farm raised.
Best: Lean Fish For example, low-fat fish like tilapia, cod, flounder, and sole have fewer than 120 calories in a 3-ounce serving and give you plenty of protein. If you don't like fish but want to get more seafood into your diet, tilapia and cod can be a good starting point. Neither has much of a fishy taste.
I'm still so alive still after smiling for 40 years. I by the way I didn't now and have 4 different types of lung medicines and pace maker to pay with daily listen to info. Makes u wiser. Not in still alive. Fool
I believe that Tilapia made it to the fish because the fish is being imported and many are now farmed, they are not wild-caught fish..these are the reasons why I believe Tilapia made it to that list.
@@williewonka6694 well the fat acid of a wild salmon is what we need for all our cells to live. See and read the LECTURE OF DR. PRADIP JAMNADOS ABOUT " The Fat Lies" at the Galen Foundation 2019 at You Tube. This is a one hour lecture and maybe enlighten you about the class of fat.
Great video! Just wanted to add that when it comes to salmon, always choose wild-caught over farmed. Wild-caught salmon is richer in omega-3s and lower in toxins and antibiotics. Farmed salmon can have higher levels of omega-6 fatty acids, which can promote inflammation. It's best to avoid farmed salmon if you want the healthiest option for your heart. Thanks for sharing this important info!
Where I live, Largemouth and Smallmouth Bass are very high in mercury and the State (Vermont) advises that Bass, Walleye, Pike, Lake Trout and Pickerel not be eaten at all due to heavy metal contamination , PCBs and PFOAs . Pretty DAMNED awful that all these Fish are inedible because of what Humans have done.
@@MichaelTheoret probably because the government is poisoning them so people are forced to rely on corporate industry for food instead of being self reliant off the land.

As long as they are not farmed catfish from Vietnam there is not a better fish to eat. I would be suspicious of what they are raised on in those rice paddies.
According to this video (America) I have to stop eating bream (“tilapia”) because it’s got all these chemicals, though people in my country have been eating it for over 100s of year because it’s clean and healthy lol, I think I’ll take my grandmothers advice on this one thank you
Tilapia raised/grown in Africa is of way better quality than the ones here. Unfortunate for us living in the states bc of how cheap and readily available tilapia is. However part of the reason it’s so cheap here is bc of the low quality
I learned something that helps my health, thank you for gathering these helpful facts, I went and fact checked these opinions and I’m happy to say they were spot on in their recommendations👍🏼
The omega-3 to omega-6 ratio of Tilapia is 3:4. This is NOT a bad ratio! Up to 1:4 is fine. (the amount of omega 6 fatty acid to omega 3 fatty acid in tilapia is a 4:3 ratio, wild salmon is 1:4, bacon grease is 10:1, and corned beef is 3:1)
Not all farmed fish is bad. It all depends on the feed and living conditions. Farmed salmon from the Faroe Islands (like Bakkafrost) is very high quality, and provides you with the much higher fat content compared to wild without all the drawbacks of antibiotics, toxins, and omega 6/3 imbalance.
I cut back on Tilapia and only buy it if it doesn't come from China. I found out that they feed it waste from other animals. True or not l'm not taking any chances.
Tilapia has been around since ancient Egypt the pharaohs ate it also. It’s depicted on several ancient wall paintings. I believe you can eat it safely if you just don’t over do it
@@juancarlosnegron2358 Oh dear Scientific, illiteracy has struck again. No, it isn’t a guess and that’s not how research works either for fish or the earth.

Very useful information on fishes we should eat and the ones to be avoided. I was uninformed before watching this video.Very specific and important info to digest. Thank you to the host.
Never believe anything you hear on the internet as there are people with a personal gripe out to influence others to their way of thinking. A bit like politicians!
But more so accurately Over this sadly it's the fish Yes we we're a result to These malicious sinful nature We are responsible as a nation And unity hands but they suffer In the arms of the angel fish
Thanks for the very informative video! Some of the fishes you mentioned, i always feel weird about. I am over 50 now and when I was younger fish was plenty and the wild varieties were also very easily available... nowadays i am not too sure about the quality of fish available... Thanks also for listing a few 'good fish' towards the end...some relief!!!
Yeah, I bought steelhead at Publix a few weeks back at $15 per pound, and cooked it the next day, but when I took it out of the wrapper it did not smell too fresh to me. As a lad I worked in a salmon cannery and I know what fresh verses not so fresh smells like. I cooked it anyway because it was almost $9 worth of fish, but one bite, spat out, and the rest went into the garbage and it just sickens me to throw out food, especially when animals died to feed me, especially when it is species in sharp decline, and especially at more than a good steak would have cost. But like I say above, I saw grouper at the same store today at almost $40 per pound, prices like that tend to put people off so it sits longer, and sometimes does not sell at all so gets wasted, now that is really sad.
Thank you for this wonderful video chord full of very useful information especially for someone like me who has been considering to go into fish farming. Tilapia was one of my consideration. You didn’t have catfish on your list. Does that mean catfish is a better option to fish farm?
Tilapia is being put on reservoirs and retention ponds in America and the label in the grocery store reads imported from China. Orange Roughy was the fish sold at Olive Garden in the past.

My parents have been eating these kind of fish, like tilapia since birth yet they have reach more than 80. We usually over eat tilapia because we are in fishpond business but we are still generally healthy in our 60s.
We need to remember when making these statements that the world today is not the same as it was 50yrs ago. Environments are much more polluted albeit deliberately impacting on the food chain.

farmed.
Farm raised fish and shrimp - never.
Tests by Consumer Labs in the US confirm tinned tuna has worrying levels of mercury. They recommend you eat it only once a week, if at all.
If you eat canned tuna, you should stick with skipjack tuna.
I ate canned tuna 3-8 times a week for the last 7 years. I’m really concerned I have mercury poisoning but I don’t know if I do… I have a lot of new memory problems and have had some weird tremors / muscle weakness. I’m addicted to tuna so I’m trying to only eat 2-4x a month now 😢
I also loved eating eel when living in Japan since it’s very common there and had it at least once a week 😢 I didn’t know it’s so bad for us and that they’re endangered :(
But then again, this is one of those things you sort of also have to weigh out. As with most things, if it's moderated or low intake, you may be OK. Too much of anything (even good stuff like Vitamin C and B12 for example) can have negative effects. It's all about moderation. Luckily I don't eat tuna that often, and definitely less than once a week and probably more like one a month if that. There is also other factors to consider like the age of the person (obviously children are probably worse off than adults, since their mental and cognitivie abilities are still developing, even though it's not good for anyone -- some are less effected by others), and then again, the amount you intake. I think there may also be a certain degree of toxins in most fish (except maybe less in some of the fresh water fish).
TRUE ABOUT TINNED TUNA BUT ALBACORE IS THE WORST.
Moderation is key. Eat to live, don't live to eat. 👌

Well said.

@@luisdetomaso867 EVERYTHING can be "UNHEALTHY" if you eat TOO much. So moderation is key.
Tell Mark Weins that! Skinny little dude eats for a living! Not an ounce of fat on him. Annoying actually.
It's never been a problem for me to avoid Tilapia because I hate their flavor!!! All of my life I ate lots of fish but it's just common sense to eat smaller fish not only because they taste better but they're also healthier & have less toxins like Mercury accumulated in their flesh!!!
That’s a great point! Smaller fish generally have lower mercury levels and often taste better. Sticking to healthier options is always a smart choice for your diet!
I heard that canned Pink Salmon is healthier for you than wild caught or farm raised Pink Salmon. I also heard that wild caught Catfish are healthier for you than farm raised Catfish. I used to catch & eat lots of channel catfish & big yellow bullheads but I noticed the channel catfish didn't taste as good & were mushy when they were over two pounds so I always let the bigger ones go. With bullheads, they were always very good eating. That's when came to a conclusion about bigger fish. I'd like to know how heathy wild catfish & bullheads are with mercury levels!!!
I agree.
I think that most of these fish that have high toxicity are the ones that have dark lateral lines,either brown or red. Tilapia & Mackerels have a brown lateral line & a pungent flavor & they're also toxic. Might be that that lateral line is the culprit.
Fewer toxins.
Regarding of Tilapia. If you give them high omega 3 source food like algae, some of veggies and water plant. This fish will have higher ratio of omega 3 and 6.
TILAPIA FISH IS THE WORST. IT IS FILTHY FISH FROM FILTHY WATER IN THE PHILLIPIINES.
Tilapia were orignally found in Africa and growing up in Tanzania in the 1960s were available fresh from Lake Rukwa. We dd not get them frequently but possibly living in their natural habitat, they were more nutritious and suited to the dietary needs of the surrounding inhabitants. Just an observation. Many intensively farmed products are not always as nutritious as when grown more naturally and production to satisfy commercial consumer standards entails using pesticdes, growth hormones etc.
Just bought a bag of Tilapia fish from Walmart for the first time. I don't want to throw my food away so I plan to BLESS it and cook it and eat it. But now I'm informed. Thank you.
Tilapia being on the list is BS. Tilapia is only high in omega 6 if the fish was farmed with a diet rich in corn. Granted corn based feed is the most common way they are farmed. Even still lots of stuff common in Americans diets has more omega 6 than Tilapia. Such as beef, lamb, milk, cheese, butter, chicken, turkey, pork, cooking oils, salad dressings and mayonnaise. So unless you've already cut all that stuff out of your diet there is no reason to even consider not having Tilapia. Personally I eat Tilapia 8 or 10 times a year, I eat one or more of those other things almost daily.
Lake Victoria has a serious issue with introduced Tilapia. They are catching and shipping them to market. So these are usually wild.
I agree with you, commercialization of this fish is the cause why they say that it's unhealthy to consume this specie
Some few years ago , on thexadvice if myvson I did a bit of research into aquaphonics: the raisingof vegetables in water using the nitrates from the fish excreta to fertilise the growing vegetables. In warmer ciuntrues, such as in Africa, tilapia were recommended - not becausebtheyveerebnsturally found there but because they naturally feed on vegetable matter. So you ca n use the surplus vegetable matter you are growing to feed the fish. I do not know of the situation in Thailand or other areas were tilapia are grown commercially as to what they are fed.
I have not had the opportunity to try this for myself andxwasnnotxat all impressed by tilapia I once bought locally from a supermarket in Siuth Africa. I offer it as an example as to how different methods of feeding fish on a commercial basis can well impact on their nutritional value.
Tilapia is a staple food in my homeland… To be precise in the Lake Victoria region in Kenya. Never heard of any alarming health issues resulting from consumption of Tilapia in that region. And it is the most common fish being consumed in Kenya at large.
Tilapia is a good fish. Don't listen to the scaremongering.
yea but in lake Victoria you are eating wild caught fish. They are talking about toxic farmed fish. it's not the fish itself, its how its raised .

@@Madrid_Shortz Talapia are native to Lake Victoria in Africa
Most Farm bred Salmon have a Bright Red Orange colored flesh. That's because of the feed they're are given has artificial colorant to make their color seemed nicer. It's the same with Aquarium food. They add colorant to make the fish more brighter.
actually the color depends on the species. For example sockeye is very red, but is usually wild caught. You should look at the fat lines instead to tell. Farm-raised have thick, obvious fat lines.

I'm 76 years old now. When I was 18 years old I worked for an old rich guy doing yard work on a few of his rental houses, and he and I got to be friends. One day when I got there one of his sisters was there complaining to him about his drinking and smoking, and saying that he has one foot in the grave (I remember thinking that she looked worse than he did). After she left he said to me "Hell, I don't want to live to be a thousand years old."
My father died at 58 years old. He was a chain smoker. Lung cancer. Now he could have been 84.
A couple of months ago I was cleaning out a pantry and ended up using some old canned sardines. It sent me down a sardine rabbit hole that has been an eye opener and a complete surprise. Maybe I was an apex predator fish in a previous life but I'm now obsessed with the taste of these smaller bait fish like sardines and anchovies, that are just packed with flavor. Talapia, rockfish and other whitefish are just kind of bland to me now, Sardines, anchovies and trout are also extremely cheap when compared to other proteins spiking inflation.
The only fish that I eat comes from
Long John Silvers. The fish they sell is delicious wish I could eat some now man they are so good!
Plus, the sardines are shelf stable ... so they're a good store of protein in case of bad events.
trout is very dear and expensive here?
at every Filipino store in the US, they sell sardines for cheap (LESS than $1 per can) , and healthy! You can't beat that with a budget. I've been to the Philippine islands, and you see these fisherman who are around 60-70 (yeah, they tell me their age) but they look 40-50, they eat sardines, dilis and bangus. Crazy..
You ARE an apex predator of all living things. Your are a human. That means You are death incarnate. Better than the alternative. If it moves, kill it and eat it. On Earth, sky or water.
I love fish but only certain fishes, cod, anchovies, tuna, trout, rockfish and salmon, but I prefer Atlantic salmon and love Scottish salmon when I can afford it. Also love shellfish. I don't eat tuna and rockfish often because of contamination.
I have not had Scottish salmon being an American who has never been to the UK. My favorite salmon is copper river sockeye salmon. It is the first salmon that I ever tried and definitely the best. At least to me it is. It's rich without being cloying, meaty without being heavy and just really flavorful.
I also like both kinds of rockfish, Atlantic bass and Pacific perch.
I only eat wild caught fish and only pole caught tuna, because it is a much more sustainable method that also reduces by catch.
I love shellfish too and only eat wild caught.

@@CzechtoU → I'm guessing eel. My mother ate it all the time and looked as you described. Love your name.
@@mikegriffin8403 → Mike, you are only partly correct. Yes, deep frying in seed or vegetable oils is toxic not just because of the bad oil but the high heat creates carcinogens. However, lightly frying in animal fats or avocado/coconut oil is perfectly safe as they are not toxic and contain omega 3. The Bratherring is extremely healthy not just because fish has healthy oils but they also leave in the bones (hardly noticeable) which is collagen. I like Rügen Fisch packed in marinade which does have some carbs (6g). Love the taste.
I enjoy young herring any way it is prepared.
Smoked herring is excellent too!
I was about to have my Tilapia dish. I've decided to eat at my own risk for today. At least I don't eat all the other fish listed here I think everything we eat is contaminated with chemicals anyway, our options are getting very limited.

Very instructive,thank you for sharing you knowledge!!!😊😊😊❤❤
Good video. About 3 years ago I caught my first fish and ate it. Let me tell you, it was 100 times better and fresher than any fish in any market. Now I only eat fish that I catch that same day. Mostly trout and salmon. 👍
I wish all people could experience eating fresh caught and cooked trout. It is one of the best culinary experiences I've ever had.
You should educate yourself about where you are fishing. For instance, Illinois and Wisconsin DNR's both recommend that people eat no more than 4 ounces of Salmon or trout from Lake Michigan in a month! Due to Mercury content. There's not many places in the world where the fish are safe to eat.
@@richardm3023 you are right. I know a lot about our river system. The fish here are safe. Thankyou

Thanks for making this informative video. We eat wild salmon (not farmed ones), sardines, anchovies, grouper. Both salmon and tuna are considered red meat, so we chose salmon over tuna.
Catch live fish n eat yummy
Orange roughly was very common for a few years until overfishing made it rare again.
Plus mahi-mahi, dolphin fish, and many similar top predators are classified as not safe yet they are frequently in restaurants because of their mild tastes.
You could probably use a little red meat
Farm raised salmon should be on the list
I only ever eat cod, haddock, salmon, and trout. Would have been good to get some info on haddock. And also in seafood, as I do eat king prawns too.
Very informative! Thank you.
I don't care for any of those mentioned to avoid. Especially tilapia. I don't understand the big deal about it. I'm thrilled to see that four of my favorite fish, including my top two - salmon and tuna - are on the good list. (Cod tends to be my go-to at restaurants unless salmon is on the menu.) I inherently knew this already, which is why I eat them. Besides the fact I enjoy their flavor and texture.
Most U.S. restaurants serve Atlantic Salmon and that is all farmed raised.
One of my neighbors told me that anchovies are good on pizza. I've never tried it and I heard it's very salty. Like the saying goes, don't knock it till you try it.
Live fish are best eat it no toxins
Tuna 🍣 is on the list for high mercury!
Every time I see videos like this, I'm glad the UK has at least for now, got good food safety standards. I just hope it stays that way.
Don't eat any sharks, the fishing of them is immensely cruel.
Freshwater baby eel are a UK delicacy. They are only fished from controlled areas. But still best avoided, just in case.
All these fish you mentioned are available in all good supermarket. I highly recommend keeping bottled anchovies in your fridge, as a good additive to pasta dishes and other recipes.
Always read the label on tinned fish, to prevent buying junk.
Tuna, salmon and trout are available as pate, but make sure it's made with a low fat ingredient.
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
We don't eat fish very often. When we do eat fish it is sardine, tuna, trout, and cod. The best price is farm raised trout at Costco for $3.99 per lbs.
We never eat any of the fish on this list...the eel gives me shivers, looks like a snake...LOL!
If I fished I would eat trout, bass, bluegill, and crappie...but I live in California, so the fishing is terrible in this State.
My brother and I caught 14 larger Jack Smelt, (around 12"), on the Santa Cruz Pier, they contain these white stringed parasites in them. We gave them to an Asian Couple and they thanked us for dinner. We were the only ones on the Pier that caught anything that day. We were also snagging a lot of anchovies for bait, they don't count as fish to me....
So giving parasite ridden fish to others ? Why not just throw them back . Where I live I can catch pail fulls of a fish called Rock Bass ( basically a larger "glorified" Sunfish) . Fun to catch but LOADED with these little white worms . I just throw Them back . There are places where these Fish don't have those worms and they are quite tasty . I also limit what I keep so as to not be part of the reason for fish being depleted .
Outstanding report thank you

As an ex marine biologist (I specialised in Gray Whales) I always wondered about the toxicity of bottom feeding fish species such as halibut ,flounders and so on Do you have any advice about these ?
You are so right. There are so many things that were considered good for us back in the 70s, milk for example. Now if it isn't a special almond milk or something it's no good. I've been drinking juices, instead of soda. Went in for a physical, the doc advised me to stop with the juices. Apparently, the acid is not good for your insides
I have same concerns! I had ciguatera fish poisoning, a neurotoxic poisoning, likely from often from conch fritters in the Bahamas, I suffered for a year. Due to small amount of fish, i guess i was lucky. I learned it is Most common in the ground-feeders, inc grouper, & in red snapper, & in general in warmer waters. I didnt eat fish for years afraid that, since the toxin remained in my fat cells, as i guess it does in fish (the bigger they get, the more dangerous to eat due to accumulated toxins), i might get sick again or die if i consumed more of the toxin. The ciguatera neurotoxin is not destroyed by heat (cooking) or freezing. This is all 30+ year old info im relaying so you may know more up to date info. Eventually tho i started to eat fish again, but mostly just salmon & tuna (canned😊)
@@mistyblue2917 Thank You Misty! I'm 59 now, and I'm learning that when it comes to health, you have to keep up with the latest guidance changes.
I have been eating a lot of flounder a long with other fish for 50yrs now & still in great health. (Although I have not eaten animal meat for 10 years now), Think It really depends on where your fish come from. The fish I eat are far from any city. I live in New Zealand, so not too much pollution down here. You would not want to eat too much whale meat lol think some are pretty heavy in toxic metals. I think people should worry more about their veg than fish. There is a lot of pesticides & chemicals used that do us no good. Also farming of animals is terrible in some places. Look at pork production. (mostly the reason I stopped eating meat) lots of Pigs are just fed huge amounts of waste foods that are unfit for humans. So why is that fine to give to them then eat the pig? Go take a look at any pig farm. I have yet to see a good one. I used to live about a mile from one & the smell was appalling.

Tilapia has been around since ancient Egypt the pharaohs ate it also. It’s depicted on several ancient wall paintings. I believe you can eat it safely if you just don’t over do it
Yeah
I dont know if incan take this video seriously but just because Egyptians did stuff it doesn't make it good. They had low life expectancy anyway
The pharaohs all died too.
How can scientists determine the age of 139 years? Did the fish tell them? LOL
Counting rings in the otoliths probably.
The same way they estimate the age of the earth, by guessing.
@@juancarlosnegron2358 Oh dear Scientific, illiteracy has struck again. No, it isn’t a guess and that’s not how research works either for fish or the earth. The fact that you immediately went to the age of the earth suggests that you are a young earth creationist. That’s too bad, but if it isn’t true, or if you still have the ability to learn and grow, then there is an exciting world of information and knowledge out there for you to discover.
For you and anyone reading this who doesn’t already know and wants to learn something I’m putting three links to Wikipedia pages that 1) describe otoliths and how they’re used to age fish 2) different techniques, including otolith counting, used to estimate the ages of fish in general and 3) the general biology of orange roughy.

@@rickedwards7276 I used to think science was real, then I learned to think for myself. You can keep that nonsense to yourself. I dont entertain theories or silly scientific calculations.
By understanding their growth patterns. Just like humans, dogs, etc...
Excellent; especially the "Review/Reminder" at the end -- of (good/bad Fish).
Another helpful tip would be how to identify the freshness with whole fish, like bloodshot eyes etc.
I want to know about the health benefits & hazards if any in eating Milkfish which is very abundant here in the Philippines. Waiting for your response, thank you.
You're absolutely right..... good morning Gloria how are you doing over there hope you're having a wonderful day it's another lovely day that the lord has made
It is very interesting to note that most of the bad fish are also those that the Bible states as unclean Deuteronomy 14:9-10
You're absolutely right..... good morning Bruce how are you doing over there hope you're having a wonderful day it's another lovely day that the lord has made
Will that Bible verse says that we are allowed to eat fish that have scales and fins and that the fish that do not have scales or fins are unclean
Very useful information on fishes we should eat and the ones to be avoided. I was uninformed before watching this video.Very specific and important info to digest. Thank you to the host.
I find that wild caught tastes better than farm fish.
"Fishes' LOL!
Never believe anything you hear on the internet as there are people with a personal gripe out to influence others to their way of thinking. A bit like politicians!

Wow! I never knew about these bad fish choices. Thank you!
Yet, people all over the world live longer than other people. Because they eat fish.
Superb video with great easily understandable and straightforward narration!
it is rubbish
How about. Mullett fish wild caught
@@shirleysimmons3553 Red or Grey? have eaten both , but they taste muddy to me
It's not the fish, it is the environment. We really messed up this place. Can we redeem some sin please.
But more so accurately
Over this sadly it's the fish
Yes we we're a result to
These malicious sinful nature
We are responsible as a nation
And unity hands but they suffer
In the arms of the angel fish
....don't forget our commercial produce...
Well said.
"sin" tells me you're part of the problem
150 year old fish I call BS
wonderful video! thank you ! Brazil
Very good info. Thank you
THIS VIDEO WAS EXCELLENT ON ALL FRONTS! WELL DONE.!
what about flounder?
I dunno , I think that Flounder tastes kinda flat without smothering it in tarter sauce or garlic -butter sauce. 🤪🤣🤣
Thanks for the very informative video! Some of the fishes you mentioned, i always feel weird about. I am over 50 now and when I was younger fish was plenty and the wild varieties were also very easily available... nowadays i am not too sure about the quality of fish available...
Thanks also for listing a few 'good fish' towards the end...some relief!!!
These days, you need to study up on the body of water you are fishing to see what, if any, species are safe to eat.
Most of these won't be served on a chirashi platter (apart from eel) so you're safe
Good video 🎯
My ex was in there
Yeah, I bought steelhead at Publix a few weeks back at $15 per pound, and cooked it the next day, but when I took it out of the wrapper it did not smell too fresh to me. As a lad I worked in a salmon cannery and I know what fresh verses not so fresh smells like. I cooked it anyway because it was almost $9 worth of fish, but one bite, spat out, and the rest went into the garbage and it just sickens me to throw out food, especially when animals died to feed me, especially when it is species in sharp decline, and especially at more than a good steak would have cost. But like I say above, I saw grouper at the same store today at almost $40 per pound, prices like that tend to put people off so it sits longer, and sometimes does not sell at all so gets wasted, now that is really sad.
Thanks for the video I have never liked bigger fish but you have made me understand why. Thanks so much
😅
Thank you for this wonderful video chord full of very useful information especially for someone like me who has been considering to go into fish farming. Tilapia was one of my consideration.
You didn’t have catfish on your list. Does that mean catfish is a better option to fish farm?
Thank you for this information on these types of fish
Tilapia is being put on reservoirs and retention ponds in America and the label in the grocery store reads imported from China.
Orange Roughy was the fish sold at Olive Garden in the past.
Thank you for good information ❤
In the Caribbean we consume jack fish, Kingfish, yellowfin tuna, snapper, grouper, cavalier, and trout. How do you rate them
