Is Tilapia good for you? 3 Fish to eat instead of Tilapia is an in-depth look into the truth about Tilapia and the many misconceptions that surround it. Learn how this fish is farmed and the top reasons why you should consider avoiding it. Find out 3 healthy fish alternatives that you can add to your diet to increase nutritional value and maximize your Omega-3’s. Get more great tips from Thomas at www.ThomasDeLauer.com
-The third most consumed fish in the US, tilapia has unfortunately been tainted by farming and feeding practices. It is the most popular farmed fish in the US (1)
-Farmed fish problem - farmed fish are bad for the environment and for our health. They are fed corn, soy and antibiotics. They are even fed hormones such as testosterone (1). What we consume is not lost, it is passed onto us.
-Tilapia are easy to farm as they breed easily and will consume these unnatural foods, and easy to sell as they taste bland and thus many people will eat them (1).
-Less than 5% of the farmed tilapia we consume comes from within the US. China and Latin America are the main locations for farmed tilapia, and their standards are not up to par. Fish are raised in crowded areas and harm local environments, such as lakes (1)
-When we are told to eat fish, it is largely due to the omega-3 fatty acid, DHA and EPA. In our Western diet we have too low omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acid ratio, leading to a number of health problems.
-A 2008 study published in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics looked at the fatty acid profile of four commonly farmed fish including tilapia. It found low levels of omega-3s, high levels of omega-6 fatty acids, high saturated fat and monounsaturated fat, and low DHA and EPA levels. These findings suggest that these fish have a makeup which is accepted to be inflammatory, which is very bad for our health (2).
-While high in protein, tilapia’s fat profile makes it the opposite of good for your heart.
Three Fish to Eat Instead of Tilapia
When shopping for fish, wild-caught are usually the way to go. When shopping for wild-caught fish, looking for fish lower on the food chain is better to avoid environmental toxins. To be environmentally conscious, looks for fish certified by the MSC (Marine Stewardship Council) (3).
If you buy farmed fish, be sure it states the fish were raised without hormones or antibiotics, not treated with synthetic herbicides, were farmed in low-density pens/tanks and that they were fed a natural diet (3).
1. US Haddock - has moderate mercury and is sustainably fished (4)
a. With similar protein content, higher iron and lower saturated fat, wild-caught US haddock is a good alternative (5)
2. California and Pacific Halibut - moderate mercury levels and is sustainably fished (4)
. With similar protein content and mild taste, higher iron, Vitamin A, iron and lower saturated fat, wild-caught halibut can replace tilapia in most recipes (5)
3. Alaska Cod - moderate mercury levels and is sustainably fished (4)
. With roughly equal protein content per gram, lower saturated fat and higher potassium, cod is flakey and delicious (5)
.Note: When possible, eating oily fish high in omega-3 fatty acids is the way to go. Try wild Alaskan salmon, Pacific sardines and black cod.

Love your videos and most of the stuff you said it is true. But I do want to mention that there's farmers that race Tilapia in a very safe and healthy way like myself through Aquaponics, where we filtrate water thru the roots of vegetable crops and use rain water to replenish our system and try to be very conscientious of what we're doing and feeding our fish to provide the best food possible. Placing a negative spot light on farm raise tilapia as a hole is truly unfair to those of us that are trying,(like you) to provide healthy alternatives and better diet in a renewable way.

Thomas is right about foreign tilapia. They are often raised in basically what amount to sewer ponds. I have raised tilapia on an aquaponics farm where they were fed a natural diet of worms, bugs, algae and alfalfa and the water was constantly filtered. The taste of fresh, sustainable, farm raised tilapia fed a natural diet is anything but bland. The Omega 3's and 6's are in perfect balance and they are just as much or more healthy to eat as any other fish (that isn't salmon or sardines) and are an excellent source of high quality protein. I tried some tilapia imported from China once and about gagged. It was slimy and had a bland, but slightly foul flavor. Salmon and sardines are great fish, because they eat great food. Fish are what they eat/ate, just as Thomas says and the same goes for tilapia. Tilapia have a bad rap because people only refer to the cesspool raised fish when pontificating on the merits of various fish. If you have a scary story to tell about a certain popular fish, demonizing it grabs peoples attention and gets you more customers because you are so smart and wise to warn people of such devil fish. Of course cesspool tilapia are going to be a low quality, inflammatory fish, just as salmon and any other fish would be if raised in the same conditions. Find an American supplier of tilapia, preferably from an aquaponics farm, and buy fresh or frozen from them and enjoy all the delicious tilapia you want. If you cannot find an American source, the Regal Lakes tilapia found at Costco is raised in lake farms with mountain spring water and is probably the best imported tilapia. They are fed soybeans and corn, so the nutrition profile will reflect that. I would only eat it occasionally, but it still has a decent Omega 3/6 ratio and plenty of vitamin D and B12 and beats processed protein any day. Thomas, you tell people to not eat farm raised salmon. That is good. Salmon do not do well as a farmed fish. They taste nasty and their nutrition quality is poor. But everybody pushing salmon only highlights the nutritional benefits of wild caught fish. However, the same reasoning does not apply to farm grown tilapia harvested from well run farms with clean water and natural food diets. In fact it is the opposite. I've had wild caught tilapia. They are not so pleasant to eat and, as you noted, they will eat anything. Being in the wild doesn't change that and that includes bottom feeding, and any garbage they can find. Wild tilapia are more toxic than any salt water fish like sharks or tuna. They also absorb the heavy metals and other toxins from the heavily polluted fresh water environment. Correctly farmed tilapia are an excellent, sustainable and healthy food source. You harp on a sustainable supply of fish. Well raised tilapia are one of those sustainable fish. Instead of scaring people away from it to make a buck, we should be eating more tilapia from American farmers so that it is worth it for them to produce here--using quality processes and diets. Unfortunately most American tilapia farms are suffering from guilt by association with an inferior, imported poop fish that should never be consumed by anybody regardless of the species. My family grew up eating fresh tilapia from our family farm as one of our main protein sources. We all remained lean and healthy while consuming large quantities of this tasty, farm raised fish.

Everything you say may be true, but you're still confirming DeLauer's main point that practically any tilapia the average person can find will be garbage. Everything you said still points to eating tilapia being like playing Russian roulette with only one empty chamber in the gun. Do we need to look for your name on the brand? Who else can we trust to be selling tilapia at your level of quality? How do we know?

Kirk Darling read the package. #1 if it is from China, don’t buy it and certainly don’t eat it. #2 if it tastes bad, it probably is bad. Good tilapia tastes amazing. #3 Cost. Tilapia are a very hardy fish. They are survivors. They will survive in sewers and scum ponds which makes them a very tempting fish to raise for the least amount of work and cost and they taste just like how they were raised. Well raised tilapia are going to cost more. If you live in south/south-western U.S. there are a growing number of local farmers that sell direct to the public. That is your best option. Many supermarkets are selling great tilapia behind the glass in the meat department. Ask the butcher where they get their tilapia. Otherwise read the label. Know what you are getting. It should not cost as much as salmon, but if it is the cheapest fish, skip it.

Good information to know, thanks Thomas and Alaskan Cod, another name for this fish would be Pollock? I learned in another upload that Pollock are kin to Atlantic Cod, so bring on the Alaskan Cod, whether cooked as 'Bacalao Noruego' or made fresh from frozen fillets, because the Atlantic Cod we buy here is all dried and salted, but will check for frozen Cod, it really is DELICIOUS!

Be cautious about buying frozen fish until you read the label and see what is actually in it. The best is just fish that is wild caught and frozen right there on the ship, without any other crap like preservatives and extra sodium in it. And then I try not to think about what might really be inside the fish itself, because it's gotten to the point that almost everything you eat has been messed with somehow.

The best is to make Your own lake and catching fish every week for dinner Get real people. We are regular people who usually not live near seas or lakes. Nor we have boats, equipment and skill for fishing. And especially, we don't have money to hire fishermen for our needs. Frozen fishes are fine. Deep freeze is the easiest way to preserve food without much negative sides to it.

Agreed, we are being kept in the dark by the fish industry about the the actual polutants now pressent in ALL fish caught wild in our oceans. And this is besides the fact that by now we have absolutely decimated global fish populations and SHOULD NOT eat wild fish anymore so that nature can recover naturally. The only real alternative is farmed fish and although the presenter of this video is right that the Tilapia is over farmed and raised in bad uncontrolled situations. What he conveniently didnt mention, in both farming perspective and nutricional, is that when fish is farmed CORRECT then all of the downsides he mentioned are falling away and negative nutricional complex is corrected. Instead of promoting the continuation of the destruction of natural fish populations to score some youtube hits, he could have actually offered Tilapia from local healthy fish farmers with the addition to 3 alternatives also farmed sustainably. There should be much more regulation on people giving out such misguided public advise as like this its kinda the blind leading the deff.

It depends on the farm, not the fish itself. Simple concept, example, if you want to go out and eat, you choose the best restaurant that suits you i.e. cleaniness, taste, environment, etc. Same goes as tilapia farm. So before you go buy tilapia, just do a bit of research and ask the seller where it came from. Simple.

Just to get things straight. I’m an aquaculturist and some of the things discussed here are very misleading. It’s very rare to see a fish farm operator use antibiotics because Tilipia is a hardy species in the first place, that’s why it’s a good candidate for rice-fish farming and biofloc technology (a kind of system wherein all the wastes in a rearing tank get recycled and converted into food, yes even poop can be converted into food by action of heterotrophic bacteria). In fact, Tilapia slime and mucus contain antibiotic, antifungal properties which make it a good candidate for green water technology. Green water is used by shrimp farms to improve water quality and make the culture organisms less susceptible to bacterial diseases. Tilapia does not contain a good amount of Omega 3 because it is primarily a FRESHWATER fish. Omega 3 is not essential for freshwater fish, whether they are farmed or grown in ponds but it is essential for marine fish such as sardines, herrings, tuna etc because these fish cannot synthesize omega 3 on their own so they have to get it from their environment or from the food they eat. It is true that Tilapia almost eat anything - it is omnivorous in nature and exists in the bottom portion of the pond/lake, so automatically it can eat anything that’s not been eaten by fish in the surface. It is not true that they are fed chicken manure. Chicken manure are ORGANIC fertilizers used to fertilize ponds before the culture period starts. It encourages growth of algae so larval Tilapia can feed on it. By nitrogen cycle, algae multiplies by photosynthesis and by utilizing the nitrogen in the chicken manure. So by the time Tilapia grows and starts eating feed pellets, the chicken manure has been fully utilized in the culture system.

Thank you for some sense on this video! After reading the comments, I worry for society. I would wager that most of those commenting on here are also anti-vaccine (read anti-science). Anyone who takes the word of a "celebrity trainer" in a youtube video needs to really consider how dumb that makes them.

Depends on where it comes from... China no, South, central or north America is fine.

you know mate This makes a lot of sense to me when i first went to China 2008 i hated the fish there even in top hotels my friends took me n hated fish just as much couple of years ago in China again, but sadly cod is now farmed in Norway n Denmark n many other European countries so it looks like we have to go to small seaside towns to buy fish from the fishermen we don't want to eat the crap they farm sad but the reality
