Shark and bug foods like like lobster, shrimp also other posters claim of
crawfish and eels, seems like the only seafood one can get. Hard to imagine
the oceans are practically fished out. In Michigan, if the DNR did not
stock the great lakes, they would not have any fish in five years. So if
you want fish these days it seems pond scum fish from Asia or nothing
because supermarkets in the US will not buy fish from it's own country.

I noticed even on some bags of Asian Tilapia, the bag states "Carbon
Monoxide Added For Flavor"? I even learned US companies do the same thing
and do not put that information on the bag.

It is hard to believe that even the oceans are being fished out.

Pickerel is not bad also. But even the great lake fish has some mercury
warnings that comes with it. I wonder if the invading Asian Carp is any
good.
