Pretty bummed the frozen package of "Alaskan Halibut" ive been buying I read something about fish farms in china and how they have different regulations. I was checking packages and I just so happen to grab my "Alaskan Halibut" and checked that too. Says "Caught in China" on the back. That's not Alaskan.

i got pretty bummed when I saw a news segment a couple of weeks ago that sent fish samples from a number of markets in for independent testing and a lot of the fish was wrongly marketed as wild when in fact it was farmed, and in some cases it was an entirely different breed of fish altogether marketed as something else lol :/ so that was really eye-opening..
Yeah what they are doing is not "good" at some farms in china They raise chickens also and put chicken wire over the water where the fish live so the droppings go into the water and feed the fish. That might not be so bad but they give the chickens antibiotics as well as the fish.
There are farms doing questionable things all around the US as well, and throughout a number of nations, not just in china. I think if consumers had transparency and were shown videos of conditions of the places where a lot of the products come from, i think they would make different choices.
Well that's true. That is why I only buy grass fed beef and pork from my local butcher when I feel like eating meat. Store bought food is a nightmare now that I've done some reading on it. A lot of people don't want to know.
i usually get my grass fed beef from the market but ive been looking around for local farms and one i might try soon sells it in bulk, would be a few months worth but def worth it i think
I can taste the difference dramatically. I'm the person at the party that asks where they bought the beef now and usually passes on it.
