Not necessarily anything wrong healthwise, although many fish do carry toxins due to the nature of food chain concentration.

It's avoiding anything which tries to avoid death and feels pain basically. You know, things with eyes and mothers.

Yeah, I see what you mean. I won't eat lobsters in those restaurants where they have you pick them out for yourselves. Actually, I don't eat them at all. And the thought of crabs being put into pots of boiling water while they are alive just makes me sick. I have never eaten veal because I hate what they do to baby calves.

Hmm, I must give this some thought.

When purchasing fish I ask for location of catch.

No farmed fish they add color and stuff to that.

Freddies was selling these humongous prawns the size of a half of a banana I kid you not.

So I asked for location and they said Thailand. My first thought having spent time in So. Philippines is ewwww I wonder how far the outdoor plumbing was draining into the area where they came from.

Here in my town I will not eat anything out of the bay I live on the catch has to come from so far out past the bar as we have raw sewage outlets into the ocean and bay. No thanks.
