Know your fish

Many species of fish are on the verge of extinction. And countless more are filled with toxins such as mercury and PCBs. All of these factors can make eating fish confusing for healthy, environmentally conscious consumers.

Today, make an effort to dispel your confusion about the fish you should be eating (or avoiding). Learn about healthy, sustainable fish and share your research with everyone here. (The Environmental Protection Agency’s Fish Advisories page is a great place to start.)

Monterey Bay Aquarium has a great Website with lots of info. They’ll even send you a pocket guide to seafood selection.
