Tonight is fish tacos with homemade slaw and pico de gallo and guacamole on the side. I put a lot of garlic in the pico, every bite as a nice burn. Yum!"What the CANUCK happened?!? - Esquimalt Barber Shop0

Thanks FMe. It was. Might make the fish crispier next time with a panko batter. It was tasty as it was though."What the CANUCK happened?!? - Esquimalt Barber Shop0

When you buy frozen fish fillets, check the country of origin. Just say no to India, Thailand or Vietnam.0

Fifthelement said:Thanks. That’s good advice. I usually buy local, fresh stuff, particularly with shell fish. This was the first time trying basa fish. Thinking I’ll stick with cod or halibut next time. The texture is firmer.0

Whoa. Will make me think more on my skrimps. I get wild fish vs. farmed, generally, but the skrimps I know do come from southeast Asia sometimes. Will have to look again at that. I was ordering wild caught brown skrimps from the US gulf but I like white skrimps or white leg skrimps...pink skrimps are probably next.Will look for wild caught US skrimps of the white or pink variety. I know I can go back to the wild browns, if needed.Thanks for the gross-out!The love he receives is the love that is saved0

I'm with you on the dilemna. A lot of frozen prawns (especially Tiger) seem to come from Asia. Gonna have to do a bit of research.

Yes, I follow that same guideline and buy frozen on the skrimps. Will check that link out, thanks!

Get_Right said:Yeah, we are very picky about the shellfish and fish we buy. It is not always possible to avoid farmed fish, but we try to avoid anything from Asia. The pork and poultry industry in the US is not that much better but at least there is some regulation. We try to avoid the standard meat in the supermarket. Makes for a painful and sometimes expensive shopping experience. Also we are not the type of people where everything needs to be super healthy/organic. There are pizza bagels, deli turkey, hot pockets and eggo waffles in our shopping cart. But when it comes to fish and meat we are picky. We are lucky in that we have a butcher and real fish monger nearby, the quality is insane, and so are the prices.All good info, thanks!My wife is super freak on the organic and related items but for the skrimps our game was off.The love he receives is the love that is saved0

Have shrimp defrosting for this evening and yup....India.
I definitely can't avoid farm raised completely, but do have some great fish spots and butchers in South Philly that have good stuff.

Get_Right said:Yeah most of those bags of frozen shrimp are from Asia, but there are exceptions. It is possible to find US origin. Whole foods is pretty good for frozen fish/shellfish. We also tend to prefer the fresh stuff but will use the frozen for dishes like shrimp fried rice.

Cliffy6745 said:Yeah we’re doing a stir fry tonight. We almost always go fresh seafood but keep a couple frozen bags in the freezer for a pinch.Where do you buy fresh skrimps? They alive when you buy them or do they bring them from the shore?I never see them where I'm at but I know you are close to the market.The love he receives is the love that is saved0
