    For all of the fearmongering about tuna: the only people who are actually advised to restrict it anymore, are pregnant and nursing women.
    There's been this fun thing discovered where Selenium binds to methylmercury and causes it to pass through the system unabsorbed. Three guesses as to which metal tuna is rather rich in.

    Why would you assume fish comes in a "package"?

    All the fish I buy comes in a package.
    I'm guessing @MelaniaTrump means if it comes in a package read the label especially tinned fish as there can be salt etc added.

    Mine doesn't -- almost none of it. I pick up some frozen fish from TJ's on occasion that does, I suppose.

    I just found it weird that someone who is apparently into scaremongering would assume people are buying fish in packages. I'm assuming she plagiarized it from some website somewhere.

    I prefer fishmongers to scaremongers.

    (Monger, btw, denotes a vendor who stays in one place, vs. a pedlar. Perhaps everyone knows that, but I only learned it a few months ago and found it cool.)

    I don't care if Ben & Jerry's named a flavor after them - their music is insufferable.

    Fish is expensive hence why a lot of people tend to eat meats then have fish as a treat.....tuna cans are always relatively cheap and good for you.

    Fish isn't really all that healthy the way it's farmed now the fish don't get much nutrients, so nether do you.

    The nonprofit Food & Water Watch looked at all the varieties of fish out there, how they were harvested, how certain species are farmed and levels of toxic contaminants like mercury or PCBs in the fish, as well as how heavily local fishermen relied upon fisheries for their economic survival.

    Any you want, it's all good.

    Some folks have read the typical Internet hype about farmed fish not healthy. Really a fish that doesn't get nutrition that's flesh contains protein, not healthy?

    Get a grip people! Your great-grandmother was always on your great-grandfather about catching fish that had proper nutrition? Really you think that? It's fish! Go eat it.

    You don't seem to understand.... if the fish lives in clean fresh water, then you are correct. But that's not the case. Mercury, PCB, over fishing, etc. These are measurable facts not opinion.

    Fish raised in a farm have a variety of issues: The industry uses open net-cages placed directly in the ocean, where farm waste, chemicals, disease and parasites are released directly into the surrounding waters, harming other marine life. Escapes of thousands of farmed fish are common in this industry, as are the deaths of natural predators like sea lions and seals who are attracted to the pens of fish.

    Raising carnivorous fish like salmon that require a high percentage of protein derived from wild fish in their feed also has a significant impact on the environment. More kilograms of wild fish are used to raise salmon than farmed salmon produced, depleting wild fish stocks rather than supplementing them.

    I like salmon and tilapia. If I'm in a pinch (like I was tonight) for some protein, I'll do canned tuna.
