Canned Cod livers?

[@cherylh4688]

Hi, Thomas. I was going to ask the same question - what about cod LIVERS (as opposed to the oil). AND I would love to know the nutritional difference between red and pink salmon. I assume red is superior, but is pink close enough to still rate highly on your list? Anyway, thanks again so much for another excellent, informative and interesting video - even if I have to breathe for you half the time bcz you talk so fast, it feels like YOU aren't breathing, lol.

Here is some info on salmon species and other wild Alaskan seafood: If you ever get a chance to eat wild herring roe harvested on a spruce branch, lightly blanched, holy moly, is the best roe out there! It tastes SO good, it works really well on a small seaweed salad with sesame seeds. Also, Jumbo or Super Jumbo wild Alaskan Spot Prawns almost always have roe on them! The life cycle of a Spot Prawn is that they are male until they reach a certain size, then they become female, so when you get larger wild Spot Prawns, they should all be females. Also - what do you have to say about shelf stable smoked salmon? The smoked salmon I have is canned in a jar, and not as "fishy", and always has bones and skin in. Also, just as a reference for people, the alternative name for a sockeye salmon is a red salmon, and other, more traditional names for a Keta salmon are dog and chum salmon. The other salmon species are, Coho, aka Silver salmon, Pink, aka humpy or Gorbuscha salmon which is the smallest and cheapest, and Chinook or King salmon, which are the more rare and biggest, and can be very fatty. All these salmon species are very good, and keep a keen eye out for Atlantic salmon, that is almost always farmed. They also farm Keta(Dog/Chum) and King(Chinook) Salmon as far away as New Zealand.. talk about the opposite of local/sustainable for those of you ANYWHERE But the South Pacific! Just some words of advice from your Alaskan Commercial fisherwoman viewer!

Also, the "olive oil" in canned sardines solid in the USA is likely mostly, if not entirely, seed oil. Check for 3rd party testing credentials and reports. Herring - Herring and sardines are in the Clupeidae family (along with shad) and, in canned products, are often used interchanged.

Compared to salmon, those white fish, like halibut, cod, catfish, tilapia, etc are boring, plus either actually unhealthy or just totally neutral, like conventional chicken breast, protein and not much else.

I do the same with tuna as its leaner but sardines would work well too!

[@johncifaldi49]

I think Thomas didn't want to get into the details of breaking a fast with a lean a protein source and adding omega-3's at the same time. Sardines in water would be perfect food spiking your MTOR which increases muscle retention. By spiking your MTOR with the protein, your insulin will not be sensitive when you eat your full meal a little later. The insulin will still work good but will be more chilled. If you watch his videos on how to break a fast, they are very informative. I lost 30 pounds and I am NOT starving one bit.

What’s wrong with the olive oil?

[@Lostamundo]

As long as it's real it's good.

[@HeeBeeGB]

Nothing

Sardines are also very low in mercury because they are so young when they're processed.

I’m not sure where you are shopping for Roe, but here in Eastern Europe we have canned Roe (mostly Salmon) in every single grocery store you go into. In the USA I will admit that it is somewhat hard to find unless you go to a specialty shop.

Great list definitely agree with all it but one con for me is that I can't eat oysters because I'm allergic.

If you can’t get a can without oil just use a strainer and pour water to significantly reduce

I pour off the Olive Oil in my sardines that I get @ Costco, put the fish in a dish and then add high quality EVO. The taste difference alone is off the hook, plus I’m assured that the majority of the oil on the fish is a known quality. Even though it states it’s olive oil, you never know...

Sardines are already high in fat, I believe olive oil is better than others oils if you prefer a oil with sardines, Compare a can with or without than make your choice.

Great info thanks. How bad is the BPA lining in canned fish. Since non BPA lining canned fish is 3-4 times more expensive!? Please guide I will really appreciate it.

[@platosphaedo9097]

I tend to avoid canned fish packed in water especially packed in US due to the manufacture’s toxic waste fluoride, chloramine and other chemicals added to most municipalities water systems in the US. Some European countries have been adding these toxic chemicals in their water but less do when I last checked. I look for organic olive oil. I won’t touch soybean oil packed fish. I understand your reasoning it is just me, I have done a lot of research on the toxic waste in water including speaking with water engineers. I have an aversion to it. I can handle the organic olive oil. Thank you for the specific kind of mackerel to purchase; need to check the cans I just purchased.

[@user-uu1vx6fi3z]

Thanks for the video. I love canned fish! In Denmark we have Cod liver canned in its own oil. Most people think it's disgusting but I love it. The fat content is high but otherwise it's extremely healthy. You should try it.

[@vincentdesiano4861]

I used to get sardines in its own (sild) oil. I would think that would be the healthiest form. I haven’t been able to find them for many years that way. I would imagine the next healthiest form would be in water-which is what l use- so l agree with Thomas.

I watched a Dr. saying the olive oil is good to protect from the nasty from the can and also the olive oil is great for omega 3 combined with fish that’s why the Mediterranean diet is healthy because they consume lots of fish with olive oil.

Apparently the oil negates all the health benefits? Makes no sense why he is so anti oil.

[@six5ths]

I think it has more to do with the quality of oil they're using. At least that's why I avoid it. Even in "pure" olive oil, they can get away with some pretty terrible quality oil that is actually still cut with other oils.

I tried canned sardines for the first time today and absolutely loved them! You do have to be careful in your selection of the ones packed in oil because most are packed in soybean oil. However I did find the King Oscar brand whole sardines with bones and skin packed in EVOO and jalapeños! They are awesome! Definitely buying more! 👍🏻

I like the sardines in extra virgin olive oil. Without the skin and bones. It has more protein ( 20 to 21 grams) the other ones have 14 to 16 grams of protein. The best brand to eat are king Oscar and wild planet.
