Should you stop eating fish? is not the first time I asked this question, and I’m certainly not the only one asking. Originally, I wrote about this topic here, after I learned that Sylvia Earle was advocating for a plant-based diet.







Since the aquaculture industry has evolved since I wrote that original article, I want to address this old question again.







Find out what to consider when you’re deciding whether you should or shouldn’t stop consuming seafood. Plus, I share a shallow pan-fried catfish recipe idea with everyone’s favorite: buttermilk ranch dressing.







Moderation. Small helpings. Sample a little bit of everything. These are the secrets of happiness and good health.Julia Child

Listen to Green Fish Blue Oceans | S2 Aquaculture | Barramundi







Scientists estimate that there are close to 22,000 fish species in the world.







Yet in the US we continue to consume the same fish over and over—shrimp, salmon, tuna, tilapia, Alaska pollock, basa, cod, catfish, crabs, and clams.







Is it because we like familiarity? Or is it because we don’t know enough about other fish?







Listen to S2 Aquaculture | Barramundi as I tackle all things barramundi—what it is, how it’s farmed, why it’s sustainable, and a quick, easy, recipe idea and cooking technique—Lemony-Crunchy-Capers Barramundi.
