Healthy fish in Thailand (small size and not farmed), Mackerel is good but what else ?

[thailandbeachisland]

Hello,

I have decided to quit farmed fishes because we know exactly with what they feed them (pesticide, antibiotics, etc...), not only here but everywhere in the world, especially salmon in Norway that us called the most dangerous food that exist and pangashit fish from Vietnam

Only small size sea fishes are not too bad for health, but I wonder which one we can find in Thailand ?

I see mackerel (SABA) everywhere and it seems ok:

But do you know other small size NOT farmed fishes found in Thailand ? Even frozen :-)

Thank you.

The only thing safe, and that is a relative term, is canned Tuna from a non-Thai company.

why do you say a non thai company?

sardines in tomato sauce a-roy.

Panga (Pangasius) fish is a Mekong catfish. My local Makro in Chiang Mai has tons of Panga frozen fillets in their frozen fish display cabinets, and prices are very cheap. Some of it is labeled "Dory" fish.

I assume it's a very clean, healthy fish to eat, carefully tested by Thai Ministry of Health. Otherwise, this fish would not be in the Thai market. Thank god for the government food inspectors!

Sardines are very healthy, but, IMO, taste like sh*t.

I would be careful with any sea fish and check where it's from, if from the Pacific it will be contaminated with radioactive material from Fukushima!

Not to long from now and more waters will be contaminated.

All tuna caught in the sea in front of California is radioactive and many more sea life is affected in the whole of the pacific ocean!

please supply test results to back up your claims

best seafood in the world is from Australia, wouldnt eat thai fish caught in the nets. They decimate everything and have no regard for future stocks at all. The reason the fish are so small is that they have taken all the breeding fish and these are all that is left, in Australia we use these small fish as bait as they are not allowed to be sold, just watch thais fish, they keep everything. The amount of decent seafood I have tasted that is/was thai caught I can count on one hand, it tastes bloody awful as it is from polluted water, look at the gills of the fish in the markets, they are grey not red and it has a distinct smell that is not what it should be. Prawns have no taste unless you smother them in sauce, same with everything else, Australia has spoiled me for seafood, fresh and clean.

And why do you think non-Thais are honest?

how do you define best? you have any quantitative data to back that up?

[seajae]

the taste,the smell, the look of it, just ask anyone that has eaten fresh aussie seafood, the stringent laws applied to the seafood market on length, catch size etc has ensured that the best is always supplied unlike here.

so australia and thailand make up "the world" ?? lol

[seajae]

we are talking about Thailand, Australia is my opinion of the best seafood,

your words pal: best seafood in the world is from Australia, ! so, got anything to back up that claim?

try alaskan pollock from Makro. 185 baht a kg, frozen on board ship and apparently a sustainable fishery. Tastes a bit like cod.

[jimkim]

same family, different surname. Ask Makro shelfstackers for a subspecies of atlantic cod if you have time on your hands. Alternatively, look out for alaskan pollock!

In 2009, U.K. supermarket Sainsbury's renamed pollock 'Colin' in a bid to boost ecofriendly sales of the fish as an alternative to cod.[4] The supermarket also suggested some shoppers may be too embarrassed to ask for the species under its proper title, due to its reputation as an inferior fish, and its similarity to a popular English swear word (<deleted>). Sainsbury's, which said the new name was derived from the French for cooked pollock (colin), launched the product under the banner "Colin and chips can save British cod."

The issue is being downplayed to avoid disrupting food supply in the many countries that source an important part of their food and income from pacific fish. There is still enough information available to give reason for concern. Some examples:

You will read far more alarming stories that are harder to verify in the alternative news sources.

What is generally agreed on is that Fukushima is until now leaking up to 100 times more radiation than Chernobyl and that it's still leaking about 300 ton of contaminated water per day in the ocean. For nuclear experts Fukushima is way beyond any disaster plan and there is still no real plan as to how to contain the damaged plant.

the radiation levels in the fish will suffice. surely you have it?

How much of what you write is based upon actual facts about Pacific fish that were laboratory-tested for radioactivity? And how much is your pessimistic assumption?

best seafood in the world is from Australia

how do you define best? you have any quantitative data to back that up?

very strict regulations on size, season, pollutants, etc

look at it

eat it

it is the best

and most is shipped OS

Has anybody tried the Indian Halibut from Foodland? I was thinking about that for fish and chips tonight.
