Seafood WATCH

A mom I know who is a scientist at NOAA recommended the Monterey Bay Aquarium: Seafood WATCH website for looking up health and sustainability information on the fish you eat and feed your family ("Seafood Search"). You will find out where and how your fish was caught and which factors create a "best choice" of fish. The search engine also recommends good alternatives and fish to avoid. I looked up Tilapia for example, and found the best choice is U.S. farmed, that a good alternative is Central or South American-farmed and that we should avoid China- or Taiwan-farmed Tilapia.
