    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.

    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

    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.

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 .

    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!

    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.

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.

    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!!

    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..
