1. Tilapia: The Bottom Feeder
Tilapia is often praised for being mild and affordable. However, as a bottom feeder, it consumes less desirable food, which can affect its taste and quality. Better skip it for a fresher option.
2. Atlantic Cod: Overfished and Vulnerable
Atlantic cod populations have suffered from overfishing. By ordering it, you contribute to its decline. Instead, choose Pacific cod or other sustainable fish.
3. Farmed Atlantic Salmon: Artificially Enhanced
Farmed Atlantic salmon often gets its pink color from additives, lacking the nutrients found in wild salmon. Plus, farming practices can harm the environment. Opt for wild-caught varieties instead.
4. Bluefin Tuna: An Endangered Luxury
Bluefin tuna is delicious but endangered. Choosing it supports unsustainable fishing. Try albacore tuna as a more eco-friendly alternative.
