I won’t eat farm raised from Asia. That’s the cesspool thing talking. US farm raised I don’t care about.
I recently bought some canned crab and it said it came from the Phillipines - wild caught. I figured they can’t screw that up too badly so I bought it.
All the other seafood I eat is from here or Northern Europe.
I didn’t say anything was. Wild Caught supposedly indicates it’s of American origin, not foreign. (Notice I said suposedly) If it’s catfish, it better be farm raised, cause otherwise, it just tastes dirty and nasty. As one who moved to the South from the Northeast where I was accustomed to good seafood, it’s the thing I miss the most. All we get here is catfish, catfish and more catfish, occasionally some shrimp on the side. It’s depressing. I would give almost anything for a heaping platter of fried scallops!!!! Not from Thailand or wherever....
A commom trick with farm raised fish is to put them under chicken cages. Yes, the fish eat the chicked manure. They are able to digest the undigested grains that were fed to the chickens.
This is how you get all your money out of the grain feed.
