Atlantic Mackerel
You wouldn’t know it from the looks of our list, but not many foods contain a lot of vitamin D naturally. But then there’s the Mackerel, which isn’t just loaded with it but also overflowing with protein.
The Atlantic Mackerel is low in mercury, but watch out for the King and Spanish species. Their mercury levels are high, according to the FDA. This species is a fast-growing fish, which means it can repopulate effortlessly and handle more elevated fishing amounts.
The gear used to catch the Atlantic mackerel is efficient and not likely to cause any significant destruction of its habitat, another reason this one is an ocean-friendly option.
This strong-flavored fish has a high dose of heart-healthy omega-3s, an amazing source of protein, delivering 20 grams in a 3oz fillet, and pairs well with some bold seasonings.

You said nothing about a great eating fish, the Catfish!!
It is a lot more delicious with out a smell like some that you mentioned!!
Bottom feeding fish…yum!
So Americans that have been here all of their live cannot even get it.
What about Cod? I usually only buy Cod, shrimp and wild salmon
Cod is one of my faves…..
what about haddock
What about flounder?
All Atlantic salmon are farm raised.
Shrimp and catfish from the orient are raised in filthy farm Ponds where they are usually feed pig and human feces.
Mackerel are great smoked, as are also catfish or any other oily fish. Usually fish are soaked in a salty brine before smoking. But you can also immediately smoke fish on your bar b que grill without using a brine.
The best canned sardines I’ve ever found are by far King Oscars. I’ve never found a canned sardine that can compare
My biggest let down in canned fish is Starkist tuna.
Ever since they stopped canning tuns in American Samoa and moved to Thailand there canned tuna is like cat food. It looks like the scrap meat that is left over after the chunks have been used elsewhere.
Pelosi owns a lot of stock in Starkist, and I would not be surprised if she had something to do with the move!
I was looking for Perch because I was thinking about ordering it for lunch.
