Nutrition Tier Lists: Seafood

As a subset of meat, seafood is fairly unique food group that often heralded as a delicacy in many places. It possesses many unique qualities in terms of nutrition, both beneficial and detrimental. Today, we're going to be breaking down the most popular options to see which ones have gone under the radar and which ones may leave you swimming with the fishes.
Also, sorry if this list seems lacking when compared to the others. I really didn't have as much to say about a lot of the fish.
What I Would Change:
1. Sardines were brought down a tier due to a high Omega 6 to Omega 3 ratio. What I somehow failed to mention is that this is not actually a reflection of the fish itself, but the oils they almost always come packed in. Somehow the USDA Food Database didn't have just sardines. If you get plain sardines, free of additives and oils, I would put them in the A Tier.
2. I want to double down on a point I made earlier about Mercury, specifically as it pertains to Swordfish. In hindsight I would move it down a tier due to its high concentration of mercury, but I felt that judging strictly based on that wasn't telling the whole story.
All nutrient data is pulled from the USDA's National Nutrient Database for Standard Reference.

One comment on salmon: the nutritional info you got is probably based on wild-caught salmon. However, a lot of salmon (especially the more-affordable stuff) is farmed these days. The nutritional profile of farmed salmon will depend heavily on what they're fed (which may vary from place to place) and feed may also introduce contaminants not present in wild fish.

[@AlexDenton0451]

@@overeasyeggg Here's my guess as to what it'll look like as a complete smooth brain. Olive Oil is gonna be top tier, it's objectively one of the most nutritious and affordable fats to cook with. Avocado oil is supposedly pretty good too from what I've heard. Seed Oils have people freaking out but they really aren't that bad, or that great for you. Peanut oil will be lower due to having some saturated fats and other unwanted things, such as allergies. Avoid eating butter and other animal fats tbh, it's all Saturated as opposed to primarily Poly and Monounsaturated in other things.

[@retrosoul8770]

@@AlexDenton0451 saturated fats from nature are not harmful at all, butter, ghee and coconut oil are the safest to cook with because saturated fats resist harmful oxidation that occurs through heat exposure, unlike unsaturated fats.

I personally would love to see a video that focuses on the anti-nutrients present in our food, which I feel like are often overlooked and not as well understood. I know you mention them in multiple videos (eg fruits, vegetables, legumes), but I think there's a level of nuance to anti-nutrients, their sources and interactions (eg mitigating their effects with cooking, combining with vitamin C, etc) that I think deserves it's own dedicated video.

Perhaps regional variations of particular fish could be considered for part 2. also, I've been looking around for evidence of sardines being high in omega-6 after watching this and I really haven't come across anything making the same claim other than sardines packed in soybean oil may offset the benefit of the omega-3s in the sardines themselves.. hmm.

You also may want to go into environmental sustainability as well.

[@dwcheshire]

Thank you for all the work you put into this. It is difficult to classify different species of marine organisms by common name because different localities have different names for the same fish and some varieties, like mackerel, have 4 varieties just in my local waters. Also anchovy just means small fish, I know it has come to refer to the salt cured fish used in Italian cuisine and perhaps they are not picky about the species but I would think that would make it difficult to analyze. Thank you again for all the work you put into this.

I think the lists aren't necessarily focused on healthy food so much as whole singular foods/ingredients. Processed food like fast food would be hard to do a tier list for, because they vary so much by how they're processed and what ingredients are included. When we say "french fries", are we talking about baked, fried in peanut oil, smothered in cheese, or what? They could all be pretty different. Even if you mean to refer to a single restaurant's menu vs. another restaurant's menu, many places have both healthier items and unhealthy items, so it'd be hard to make a comparison without limiting it to a single item on the menu across restaurants (like french fries).

Good info and good presentation, overall. It would be good to see information on PCB, PFOS and microplastics contamination as well as mercury, though it may be harder to find good data. I have generally seen that farm raised salmon may be high in PCBs, so I go for wild salmon. Also, I am a bit more leery of mercury, so swordfish would be a no go (f tier) for me. Similarly, while mackerel is low in mercury, king mackerel is very high, so it’s easy to get tripped up by things like that. One other small thing: though anchovies are great, they tend to be prepared with lots of salt which might be an issue for those trying to cut back on salt. Just some minor feedback.

This is an interesting tier list because all the others basically follow the rule: the less steps involved from nature to plate, the better. Seafood is all directly from nature unless your Italian family breads and fries the out of it

[@bobjohnson1633]

For most hunter's or farmers with less regulations, you kill it, skin it, cut it up and store or eat it.

[@georgesakellaropoulos8162]

There's not a whole lot of breadding and frying in Mediterranean cuisine. Americanized people of Mediterranean descent will do this, but not those are true to their food culture.

I've read that swordfish is often riddled with parasites. Thought you'd mention it here

[@Mozdk1]

Nice! Extra protein.

[@luckygirl1561]

@@Mozdk1 yea just cook it well

[@TheDwarburton]

When prepared and cooked properly swordfish is really nice though let's not let a few infested ones spoil the fun! Haha

As a seafood lover, I found this video very informative. I would love to see a nutrition tier ranking for plant-based protein. I did notice however, you have a bean video that I'll save and watch later. Thank you.

THESE ARE AWESOME AND HAVE GENUINELY HELPED ME STRUCTURE MY DIET

[@andrewglazier8940]

I've recently come to love canned herring, AKA kippers. It's tasty and loaded in Omega 3 and Vitamin D. It's also low in mercury.

[@londonmm]

Don't forget about n-3 DPA 22:5n-3 docosapentaenoic acid. This is an important omega 3. Also keep in mind about bottom feeder fish, such as catfish, containing harsh substrates or chemicals from polluted waters. I'd also like to add that since tilapia live in such close quarters and tend to eat their own feces. They are typically not the best option. Several studies show these fish have a higher level of trans fat and AA. Oh, and arsenic is a common issue in many canned/tinned fish. Where mercury is low arsenic is often high.

[@JH-ed4mm]

Yes, those are very important factors. Also plastic pollution would have been relevant to mention.

[@gg-gn3re]

ALA and EPA are converted to DHA in the body (though very poorly) the only thing that produces DHA is Algae, all of the fish that have this get it from algae or get it from eating something else that got it from algae. DHA is currently seen as by far the most important, and found in equal amounts as DPA in breast milk. DPA is possibly better absorbed by humans (no studies confirm, they speculate and mention it, but it isn't concrete) and DPA also gets found in some other mammals which makes it more available similar to ALA (in seeds) DPA will be found in the same fish with DHA so that's good for all of his list. All in all, algae needs to be cultivated by humans because it's important and most people don't get enough omegas. As far as I see EPA -> DPA -> DHA so the main benefit of DPA is it may get absorbed far easier, and then converted.

[@londonmm]

@@gg-gn3re EPA is equally as important as DHA in the scientific community. They have synergistic roles and support different functions. DPA is fairly unstable and normally not found as is in the body. It is converted from EPA or made in a lab. DHA is also found in grass fed meats and dairy, nut just algae.

[@gg-gn3re]

@@londonmm DHA.. not DHS and no not really As I already said, DPA is found in breast milk and mammals so yea it is all over.

[@londonmm]

@@gg-gn3re DHS was a typo and was corrected below. DHA and EPA are equally important. I am a Ph.D. in Nutritional Science and study the realm of n-3 PUFA in particular the resolution of inflammation.

[@user-vi5vy3kr2w]

Very informative.. good video to watch

[@whirled8147]

Dude this is so interesting. Thank you so much! :)

[@maxcooks2963]

Love these videos! Quick question: are there any discrepancies between the nutritional content in canned vs fresh seafood? For example, canned salmon and tuna?

[@technopong]

Agreed, that distinction seems like an important one to explore.

[@Mogar1337]

These videos are great! It would be awesome if you could compile this information into a diet format that can be scaled up or down based on caloric needs. There is so much diet advice out there, knowing how to "optimize" that knowledge into one well rounded diet would be excellent.

[@user-ku3lr6mz4v]

Massively helpful - thank you

[@mattmorrissey6248]

One question I have is during the oyster segment you seemed to be referring to raw oysters but towards the beginning off the video you said you were measuring the cooked version, so what were the micros given for

[@YerOrevi]

This is indeed top tier content for anyone willing to take the wheel on what to eat

[@msg3415]

Congrats on 100k!

[@heisenberg5632]

Amazing content. Keep the videos coming!

[@FirstStepTravelers]

Great video! Was curious about canned fish, does that effect anything?

[@leadfaun]

Yes. If you get sardines in oil, they have a worse ratio of Omega 6-3.

[@PetitHamster]

Why there is a bird inside the oyster O.O
