In reply to the discussion: Asian Seafood Raised On Pig Feces Approved For U.S. Consumers [View all]HeiressofBickworth
(2,682 posts)34. I rarely go to (well-known fish restaurant)
but for a change, went a couple of weeks ago. They had all kinds of shrimp dishes on the menu. I asked where the shrimp came from; they said the Gulf. I politely said that I don't eat shrimp from the Gulf because of the oil disbursement they used on the oil spill. That left very few other dinner options. I already knew that tilapia is imported from filthy fish farms in SE Asia and Mexico. I finally decided on the fish & chips -- the fish was pollock which is a cold water fish and still caught in the wild. Overall, I'd say my fish-eating days are over.
