Beware the fish from other places. I'm so happy I can view the Seafood Watch page on my iPhone! Happiness comes in small packages.</a> Well, The Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood watch rates farm-raised tilapia as best, as long as it is from the US. Beware the fish from other places.

I didn't even know there was something called Opah. When I first saw the title, I thought it said “Oprah and Citrus Edition”. I didn’t even know there was something called Opah.

I also know that just coz it's live caught, it doesn't mean it's sustainable (Chilean Sea Bass, I'm talking to you). Still, I appreciate that he even HAS a policy, it means he's thinking about what he's selling, unlike most standard supermarkets (Safeway, QFC, I'm talking to you.)

A few years ago I worked at a conference about the fish industries where I learned that Tilapia is a great fish to farm due to their lowered needs and impact on the environment. They also offer a great economic benefit to those places in need of that lift. I now buy Tilapia knowing that it is a great sustainable fish. I'm not one to give up on any fish just because it is farmed. I like hearing about markets like this one but I am saddened to hear that he doesn’t sell Tilapia due to it being a farmed fish.
