OK, I'd like fish for dinner, but I have a moral dilemma:
Advertisements [?]
What hasn't been overfished and depleted?

What is caught without using horrible nets that kill birds and turtles and dolphins and ??

What doesn't have mercury and other nasties in it?

And finally, if possible, what doesn't have a zillion bones?


God, eating anything good these days is fraught with moral dilemmas. I won't eat meat (aside from fish) mostly because of the horrible slaugherhouse conditions animals face before dying. I would love to have a good filet mignon, but can't face the grocery store meat department. Maybe I should find a kosher butcher? What are their slaughter standards?

Fish is full of contaminants and big fishing companies are destroying the oceans.

But I can't just live on celery sticks. I loooove fish. But am currently clueless.

Anyone have any suggestions?
