Wild Caviar
Caviar comes from sturgeon, which takes a long time to mature, making the fishery fragile. If you like the taste of caviar, go for fish eggs from American Lake Sturgeon or American Hackleback Sturgeon from the Mississippi River.
Looking to serve an alternative as an appetizer instead of caviar? Choose smoked salmon with goat cheese and some cucumber slices.
You should be ok if you limit your fish intake, especially the high-mercury kind. While it isn’t threatening to most, pregnant women, breastfeeding women and young kids should avoid eating fish with potentially high mercury levels and limit their fish intake altogether.

You said nothing about a great eating fish, the Catfish!!

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.
