The Dish on Fish
By shamelessly poaching from, once again, Shape Magazine, I bring you the following information about the best fish for your health and the health of the environment. They were rated in terms of their levels of mercury and other pollutants like PCBs and pesticides (your health) and on whether they were caught or raised in environmentally friendly ways (environmental). The results:
Good for you and for the environment; safe to eat four or more six-ounce servings per month:
Tilapia (see this post, way to go ATP)
Anchovies
Sardines (these also have lots of calcium)
Tuna, canned light
Mahimahi
Salmon, Alaskan
Be careful; safe to eat four six-ounce servings per month:
Monkfish
Red Snapper
Cod, Atlantic
Skate
Halibut, Atlantic
Giant Prawns
Limit consumption; safety to eat six-ounce servings per month noted following fish name:
Grouper (2x)
Bluefish (0x)
Tuna, Bluefin (1x)
King mackrel (0x)
Shark (0x)
Swordfish (0x)
Also, I just signed up for my preferences of veggies for my CSA and omg, I'm so excited. Happy Spring, everyone!
