[@CarbageMan]

If the small fish are safer for pollutants such as mercury, should I select the filets from smaller (wild caught alaskan) salmon when I have the opportunity?

[@janicemaceachern1004]

I worked in the salmon farming industry for 8 years or so when it first started on the East Coast of Canada. They don't use dye to color the meat. It is the krill and small crustaceans that give it the pink flesh. I think salmon should be on the toxic food list. They have been pumped full of drugs to combat disease and viruses that the actual act of farm fishing created. I don't think the wild caught salmon are much better. I can taste the difference.

Hello Dr. Ekberg . . . great info here. However, I'd like to point out the distinctly different characteristics of the Albacore Tuna. When people say 'tuna', they often think of the very large and sought after Bluefin and Yellowfin tuna you see on tv shows. The Albacore tuna is a very sustainable species that we fish for commercially and recreationally on the West Coast of the US (Primarily north) and typically only catch juveniles that are between 8-30 lbs. Low mercury and young age.

[@lynpatricia6854]

If I see wild caught Albacore on label would that mean the safer one?

[@drttaylor]

Interesting. My understanding is that albacore has a higher mercury content than chunk light tuna.

[@cavemantero]

Thank you. There literally is an agenda to keep Bluefin and Yellowfin away from the masses. I've never heard of anyone dying from eating to much of it or even having it as part of a steady diet. Lots of propaganda out there to guide the customer to what THEY want to feed you rather than what is actually good to eat! There's a reason why Bluefin is so massively expensive. If you've ever had Bluefin nigiri/shashimi (Toro) you know.

[@walks1835]

[@HarvardBob]

Great video. Couple of important points to add. Watch out what oil is added to your canned fish. Many manufacturers pack sardines and other fish in soybean oil which is high in omega 6. Some use cottenseed oil, a highly industrially processed oil with trace pesticides. I have found Trader Joe's to have a great selection of sardines and anchovies packed in olive oil or water. I always go for the olive oil as I think it holds the fish flavor better plus the olive oil bonus. I often save the leftover packing oil for other recipes. I would not recommend their canned trout as it is farm raised and packed in canola oil. They also have wild sockeye salmon (canned and frozen) although I have not tried it my self.

I’m a big fish lover! This helped me! I eat Wild Planet sardines. It’s hard to find good salmon! Thank you!

[@anthonylacy4466]

Thanks for the Intel. I eat tuna alot lot. Package or two a day some times. Sardines are a super favorite too. I will switch to just wild salmon, atlantic mackerel and saridines. I have about 15 more packs/cans of tuna so I will spread that out now.

[@richardjohnson4065]

I eat tuna also but I'm wondering if you have to eat large amounts of tuna to get the mercury amounts that he speaks of I only eat about 2.6oz pouch or package of tuna when I do eat it as a snack to break my fast maybe 2 when I work out fasted

[@mrzee1958]

Trader Joes stores in US have several varieties of wild caught alaskan frozen salmon at all times! Been buying it for years! And very affordable!

[@SeanPannella]

I was curious about the nutrition of canned wild salmon vs fresh wild salmon, it would be pretty affordable to eat canned wild salmon even on a daily basis whereas fresh wild salmon is definitely a more expensive treat

[@SeanPannella]

@Joe Twist ya i generally can afford to get frozen wild salmon but many of my friends and associates may not be able to so I want to have a good alternative to offer them

[@spaceghost8995]

I tried sardines for the first time this year. I'm 60. I was surprised they just taste very much like tuna but saltier and a bit richer. I put some yellow mustard on them and sometimes Frank's Hot Sauce on them to take the edge off of them. They're actually not bad and very filling for just a small tin. I figure a few tins a week would give me some good Omega 3 oil and some bio-available minerals.

[@videosuchen]

Here in Europe, especially in Holland, the Dutch "Matjes" is eaten for the best, healthiest and tastiest fish. It is the very young (virgin) herring that can only be caught from May 1st. The season runs from mid-June to September. The "Matjes" is extremely high in omega 3 and very little mercury.

[@maggiegoossens1894]

As a Flemmish woman, I LOVE maatjes. They are delicious and not too expensive for my limited budget! Way to go, Dutch neighbours! 🥰

[@standom2390]

Every time I cross the German border to get some of those "Majestes" to CH, as they don't have any of those. The only problem with the Dutch ones is added rapeseed oil.. There's also some in France, and it seems that they get it in the Atlantic with no oils added.

[@videosuchen]

@@standom2390 The original Dutch matjes are only available in summer or frozen. The "so-called" Matjes with rapeseed oil are not real, original Matjes. You can only get them in good fish shops, not at discounters.

[@standom2390]

@@videosuchen, thanks, good tip... though it makes it harder to get the real ones.

[@haruka3203]

You have changed me Dr. Sten, I've been on a sardine diet for awhile now and I am feeling improvements! Previously I was eating out at so many chain restaurants with all the burgers and fries and I started feeling sick. We all need more fish in our lives, and it's just right there, in front of us, in small affordable cans.

I find this absolutely fascinating and think the masses should be aware of these facts. I am a sufferer of Autism and believe that I may actually have mercury poisoning from the amount of Tuna and King Mackerel I have eaten daily throughout my life. The doctors here (in the U.K.) will not ask about your diet, and have only recently asked for repeat blood tests after years of these symptoms. Much love for bringing these facts to light❤

[@gracecotton9819]

Thank you very much for this research. My main fish are tin sardines and fresh mackerel. The only salmon I have seen available is farmed, so I haven't had salmon for many years. I used to have tinned salmon, but 3 or 4 years ago, there was a question mark on that, too. [Fukushima] You didn't mention haddock. This is a fish I have weekly, so I hope there's no major problem with this.

[@AJ_Reynolds]

Grace Cotton in the UK it seems like all the canned and frozen salmon is wild and affordable but the salmon in the fresh section is farmed and more expensive. It might be worth looking in the freezer section if you haven’t already.

[@gracecotton9819]

@@AJ_Reynolds Yes, but how do you know that the tinned salmon hasn't been contaminated? Some years' ago, one of our supermarkets was selling off Princes salmon at £1 to £1.50ish a tin. As I usually paid about 2.50, it seemed a bargain, so I purchased quite a few. Having done that, I wondered what was wrong with them, and they are now stored in a box - for when push comes to shove, with the way the world is going, it probably won't matter if there is something wrong with them. I haven't yet looked in the freezer section, thanks.

A lot of people don’t know the difference between omega 3 and omega 6. Omega 3 fats thin your blood and omega 6 fats thicken your blood. We need both, but the western diet usually has way too much omega 6 fats. This is why everyone stresses omega 3’s.
