Learn the 3 Safest fish to eat! I'll teach you more at www.ThomasDeLauer.com
We are going to go over the top 3 fish to eat and the fish that you may want to avoid. Fish can become contaminated in a number of ways - size, species, age and location determine contamination levels. Heavy Metals: Mercury and Lead-
Mercury is known to cause many health problems and is especially dangerous for children and women who are or may become pregnant. It can take 12-18 months for mercury to pass through the body, so women who may become pregnant should also work hard to avoid mercury. The nervous system and kidneys are the main targets of mercury. Children exposed to mercury may cause mental development problems, including coordination and learning handicaps. Anyone can experience mercury health effects, including: fatigue, dizziness, numbness or tingling, memory and coordination problems, irritability.If enough mercury is consumed, permanent brain and kidney damage can occur. Large, older, or predatory fish have more time and eat more contaminated foods, allowing heavy metals to bioaccumulate.
Industrial Chemicals-
PCBs, dioxins, DDT and other chemicals can leach from factories or garbage into our waters. These chemicals are related to cancer risk. Bottom dwelling fish are the most susceptible to these toxins, including the American eel, sea trout and wild striped bass.
Radiation-
The Fukushima nuclear disaster is one of the most widely discussed radiation events that has an impact on what we eat. Radiation is known to cause cancer, so avoiding foods high in radioactive compounds is important. Researching your fish choices online is the best way to avoid consuming fish that come from an area high in radiation.
Choosing Fish for Your Family-
The Environmental Defense Fund Seafood Selector is a great benefit when deciding what fish to avoid and what fish to load up on. Given the above concerns while also weighing in health and deliciousness, here is the list of the top three fish:
(1) Pacific Sardines (US and Canada):
-Low in mercury
-Sustainably fished
-High in omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins B12, B2, B3, D, selenium, phosphorus, calcium, copper and more
-They are inexpensive and easy to find canned.
(2) Wild Alaskan Salmon:
-Salmon is one of the most delicious fish, rich in healthy fats.
-Low in mercury and sustainably fished
-Contains bioactive peptides that may support for cartilage, insulin and inflammation.
-High in vitamins B12, B3, D, selenium, omega-3 fatty acids, phosphorus, B6 and many others.
(3) Muscles:
-Low in mercury and one of the most sustainably fished seafood sources out there
-High in selenium, omega-3s, B12, iron, magnesium, potassium, phosphorus and many others.
Seafood to Avoid:
Due to toxins and sustainability, it is best to stay away from these types of seafood.
(1) Shark:
-Anything this high up on the food chain is going to be a red flag when it comes to toxins.Predators consume other fish and their toxins. The higher up on the food chain, the higher the levels of mercury and toxins in the fish. Adding to the health dangers is the unsustainable fishing practices. Sharks have long gestation periods, taking a long time to mature and have offspring. This makes overfishing or depleting their numbers easy to do. Most shark species are experiencing a large decline due to fishing, being caught as bycatch and for fins in Asia.
(2) Tuna:
A favorite among many sushi goers is unfortunately very high in mercury and horrible for sustainability.
Some tuna is much better for you and the environment than others. If you do consume tuna, US yellowfin is the best option. Canned albacore tuna is high in mercury and should be avoided. Bluefin and imported albacore are the worst tuna options for health and sustainability - do your best to avoid these.
Canned light tuna is better for you than canned white tuna when it comes to mercury, with about ⅓ the mercury content of canned white tuna.
(3) Farmed Tilapia:
Farmed tilapia in the US is often imported from China and Taiwan where the conditions and chemicals used are very troublesome.
(4) Swordfish:
All swordfish, being large hunters, are high in mercury. They are also fished very unsustainably, with large bycatch of sea turtles, sharks and seabirds.

Usually I am skeptical about do and don't videos, however, you are well informed. I am trying to increase my intake of fish because of health reasons. Salmon and Sardines are two fish that I focus on eating more already. I am surprised about the muscles. I always though the shell fish tend to have more heavy metals. Good video.

[@alyssarasmussen1723]

Rarely Flounder is ever found and purchased at stores here.. They usually just have Tilapia because it's cheaper and more common.. Thankfully and luckily Flounder was available at our local Kroger.. It's been years too. Such a crazy coincidence! Definitely not going to take this for granted! Thanks! :D

[@stvsueoka1]

No one EVER talks about sustainability when it comes to these health videos. OMG, this is SO refreshing. I'm a new sub, but the moral component that you've added to the videos that I have seen is just great. I really connect with it. THANK YOU!

Just make sure it is wild caught. I have a great book on the 150 healthiest foods and the author says the difference between wild caught and farm raised salmon makes them practically two different species.

[@loktom4068]

Only the wild salmon. Most stores sells farm salmon. Full of antibiotics.

[@jumpman366]

Violama You on the good side too 😘

[@kaydenl6836]

4:50 you WANT frozen, unless you’re getting it straight from a 1-2 day trip where you know the fishers didn’t freeze it. Otherwise, it’s frozen before and then defrosted. They flash freeze the fish straight up, then defrost when put in the store. If you buy it frozen, it was never thawed. Won’t affect nutrients, but some people find a texture difference

[@mopayne4630]

OMG such an eye opener! Thanks for making this video 😉

sardines are kind of an acquired taste for many, but they are so good for you and relatively cheap. They make for a good snack that will protect your heart

[@tmo.48]

I eat mine with much horseradish, it's a great snack for me❤

[@rachelpanay3853]

Thanks so much! I learned a lot & was reminded me of imp. things I forgot about, especially about tilapia! Happy the mussels are advisable. The ones I got recently were frozen & pre-marinated so I bet I can probably figure out a healthier option, like, uh, cooking them myself?! : )

[@chuckgoecke]

When I first started keto, after Bary surgery, I ate a lot of Whey protein isolate powder, plus a lot of cheese, both dairy based and super low in iron. After about 6 months of keto, and I was doing amazing, like perfect blood panels and everything, but I was kind of run down, so my doctor checked my iron. I was low. Too much protein that didn't have any iron with it, and the iron in my supplements was utterly worthless. I just needed more red meat, but to catch back up, I started eating liver and those little tins of Mussels, plus smoked baby oysters. They are crazy high in iron(like 40-50 percent of the real RDA of super available heme iron) plus all mussels and oysters are sustainably farmed and best part is they don't even feed them, they just filter the water, actually reducing the algae blooms so the water ends up better. Thus, if you have issues with iron, and don't like liver, mussels are your ticket. Fresh frozen farmed mussels from New Zealand are also amazingly cheap, like 2-3 bucks/lb. Since they have very thin shells, I'd estimate they are about 1/2 meat, so a super deal.

[@optimisticoutreach1236]

Finally, somebody catches on to mussels! They have been my go to protein for years...everyone thought I was crazy. Not so much recently...great video, great job

[@raelenamorrison6255]

Great video! I would add that a lot of homesteading communities are farm raising tilapia here in the US and are doing so through aquaponics and hydroponics. Something to look into for healthy raised and sustainable tilapia and other fish not available wild

[@taliaasims]

Yes I only buy from the us or Mexico no other countries

[@fishmanroly7450]

I agree with everything you said except i eat mainly tilapia because I farm them myself. They are easy to keep in the backyard they grow from baby to table in 9 months and I only feed them organic feed and I keep my water crystal clear. I have family come over to eat them all the time and they say they taste like salt water snapper because my fish are raised in totes no dirt no grass no access to poop. But I do agree about the farm raised tilapia I wouldn't eat them if you gave them to me and in the wild they're mainly vegetarians and my tilapia cuz I also have the vegetable garden we give the scraps to them and they love em .

[@londalecarter3482]

Hi Thomas, another great video, thanks! I’m one of those people who don’t eat a lot of fish, so I’m not sure how to prepare it. Could you give us a few ways to cook/eat them in a future video? Also, for sardines, do we eat the whole thing, bones and all? And mussels, do we eat the stomach and it’s contents? I’m a bit more familiar with shellfish, but am now repulsed by the stomach. Any suggestions? Thanks so much! Your videos are always so helpful, informative, very professional.

[@Afterthehunt007]

You can, to this day, collect mercury from rivers in Idaho. They used to dump mercury into rivers because it will attach itself to gold. This made gold (already being heavy) heavier and easier to harvest (especially the finer gold). The state of Idaho does not recommend the consumption of Brown Trout because of its high mercury content/contamination.

[@bublhed]

Great information…thank you! I’ve been told my protein is a little low. I love fish and I’m happy to learn some of my favorites are on the “definitely eat” list. Big shock about albacore. I’d be interested in learning about milk fish and trout. I take collagen every day so I’m going to make sardines a part of my diet more often.

Look for canned salmon, it is still very healthy, maybe more so, and it is usually wild caught.

[@EbonKim]

Just subscribed. Love the detail! I've been a vegetarian for over 25 years, but only eat what I fish/hunt (mostly for the last 2 years). Having a 3-year old daughter, and a 2nd kid on the way, I'm watching out for contaminants and mercury in the fish that I catch. My 6 best fish to catch and eat would be: 1. Freshwater stocked Rainbow and Brook Trout (not Brown Trout) where you know the quality of the water. I mostly fish at Walden Pond (really clean water), and Spot Pond (a backup reservoir). The fisheries are also well maintained and the fish are in great condition when released in the Spring, but sometimes not as great a condition in the Fall (long story). 2. Freshwater pan fish where you know the quality of the water. Quality of the water is important. However, crappie, bluegill, etc. are great tasting, and low in contaminants. 3. Freshwater yellow perch. Size matters, so nothing bigger than a foot, they are good tasting (but not as good as trout or pan fish, imo). 4. Saltwater flounder - I didn't want to ignore saltwater fish. Size matters, so nothing over 20" would be a good eating size. Low in contaminants and mercury, and quite abundant near the shore in sandy areas, also great tasting. 5. American Shad. Great healthy fish (they have nearly twice as much omega 3's per weight than wild salmon), but you have to catch them in the spring to late spring. 6. Atlantic Mackerel. The same high content of Omega 3's as American Shad, but also contain high amounts of Vitamin B12 and phosphatidylserine. All of these fish are very low in mercury, and also low in contaminants, depending on size, and the quality of water. However, all are healthy, high in omega 3's, and great tasting. I hope this helps!

Absolutely love everything you've said here! Especially about sustainability, and of course the fact that you went into depth explaining the risks of mercury latent fishes. Sadly I'm a life-long tuna addict, and salmon too of course, and I can't help but find myself depressed about what our human race has done to their eco systems and species as a whole... Salmon can grow up to five feet in length and over 100 pounds, that's literally my height and weight. It is horrifying to know that this most popular fish is dying out. Because of, DUH, us and our love for it's taste and texture. And farmed salmon is almost never healthy. Please look into it..

Good Stuff Thomas! I wanted to share a recipe of something I have been makin'. I'm on an OMAD and STRICTLY carnivore with Monday all day fasting! It's a 3 day - "fish casserole" kind of creation. Consists of a can of Albacore tuna in spring water, a can of sardines - wild caught in water and a vacuum packed large piece of wild caught alaskan salmon (coho or sockeye) from Trader Joes, all cooked on my outside covered grille. I put the salmon on a foil boat out on the covered grille and while its cookin', I make a foil boat platter with about 20" of foil, folded long way in1/2 and then cup up the outer edge (about an inch) to make a boat. Then scoup in the tuna (after draining water) and the anchovies -drained- and break up it all and stir it up. After the salmon cooks (about 15 minutes) I scoup it into the mixture and break it all up and stir it in. Then I scoup it all into the foil boat and flatten it out and put a couple scoups of beef tallow (fat) on top for oil.Then back in to the grille for about 10 -15 more minutes. But I also make about 6 local free range raw eggs whipped in a bowl and pour it on top and kind of stir it in. In 10 minutes I have a 3 day casserole that I divide in three and last me for 3 meals (days)! It only comes to about $5 per day to eat! It's awesome!!

I actually like the sardines in the cans but a lot of people don't. I eat those sometimes and thanks for all the info!!

I love them with lots of horseradish on the side❤❤❤

I worked in a fish processing plant and we had to separate fish from certain lakes that had known higher mercury levels. We had special codes to use on the labels. I wonder if the end customers knew this.

[@CinnamonSugar202]

I doubt it

[@LAUGHING-MAN38]

Give me the codes, it's a matter of national security!

[@rickrude6301]

Products would use the normal product codes and add the letter "E" in front of it. Interesting they don't use the letter "M"

I eaten mussels over Christmas and only now recovering from the poison effects off them so I will be giving those a miss and it’s unbelievable how deadly shellfish can be whoever we prep them

thanks so much for this!!

very informative, keep up the great work!

[@oddballgunman5288]

Wow! Glad I watched this video, I've been eating a lot of salmon and tuna the last few months, mostly fresh/uncooked sushi and chunk light tuna from a can. I guess I'm good for the most part, ate swordfish the last 2 nights though. I bought Sea Bass the same day I bought the swordfish. I'll still eat my Sea Bass but I'll be avoiding swordfish and anything other than yellow fin tuna. I love sardines which have some of the highest levels of omega 3 compared to other fish.

“TILAPIA CAN LITERALLY LIVE OFF OF FECES” nufff said my friend. Thank you for this public service. I was only eating tilapia and albacore tuna as far as fish goes.

[@WOODR52]

Your a great physical specimen, wish i still looked like you at 68. I competed in the 68 & 72 olympics (weightlifting). thanks-

[@DaGo.at1]

I grew up off catfish .. funny thing is I never heard of tilapia until about 2007,2008 .. that’s when moms swapped out the catfish for the tilapia.. the shit was fye with some spaghetti 😂😂

[@saundraashley4940]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@everybodyclapyourhands4742]

@Gabriel Does Politics you haven’t tried it? Spicy Salmon w spaghetti is the best

Great video I really liked it. But what about lobsters, shrimps and crabs? Thanks.

[@michaeljovan9957]

I don't like crabs ! I got it ounce!

[@Shitoryumaster]

Those are all bottom feeders so I imagine the same applies to them as well.

[@chrissagredo7129]

Ephrain Reliford their meats are almost pure protein. They’re also crustaceans, not fish! Had to be that guy lol.

[@drewmurdaugh424]

Fahad Bashraheel those things are all Bottom Feeders they eat the garbage and shit off the bottom of the Bay what do you think would you eat something that eat shit and mud and muck yeah they're pretty tasty but everything that's really tasty is usually bad for you

[@chrissagredo7129]

DREW MURDAUGH well cows eat grass and shit and grass is pretty much dirt that grows because of dead stuff and poop so who really cares. Plus, with the cooking process for crustacean, it isn’t really an issue.

[@garrick7076]

Earned my sub with great info. Thank you.

[@nicholerichard8865]

I’m late to the party... but I live in south Louisiana, do you know of any fresh water fish that are better/should be avoided?

[@racheldaguanno30]

Just took my last bite of tilapia when he said that..

[@MrKenstar2]

Rachel Daguanno why believe him, what does he know

[@MysticKrabs]

@@MrKenstar2 because hes educated in this field and links his sources?

Because getting your fish from 🇻🇳 makes loads of sense.....hows that Agent Orange working out?

I went to the ER recently and was diagnosed with Scombroid Poisoning .... The Dr was like: "Did you eat Talapia recently?" .... Yes 2 days before .... he said "STAY AWAY FROM THAT FISH AS ITS THE WORST FISH IN THE WORLD" - Never Again will i eat it. (He said he sees this alot from Talapia)

[@MilkByCow]

Agreed with Thomas for the most part but when he listed tuna as a bad fish, it felt like my whole life was a lie.

Hey Tom, what are your thoughts on Trader Joe's Yellowfin tuna in olive oil? Should it be drained or eaten with the oil?

[@tmo.48]

I give the tuna and sardine liquid to my cat, he LOVES it.

[@tonyrowe1455]

Thanks for the info.

[@shopmojic9418]

thank you for this its what fish i been eating all along

[@BrianJWalker89]

As I was eating tuna from a pouch, pre gym 😂😂

[@214sims]

I remember when I stopped eating tilapia. I was noticing a really dirty after taste bite. 🤮 I told my mom she noticed it too. she thought it was from leaving it out in water. Then we looked it up and she stopped buying it. 😊

[@drewplus281]

My mind is blown 😳 , so much good information
