Choosing Fish You Can Trust 🌊

Knowing which fish to trust helps you eat healthier and spend your money wisely.
Fish to be careful about:
- Tilapia - often farmed in poor conditions with antibiotics and additives; its only real selling point is its low price
- Imitation fish products - heavily processed and will never match the nutrition of real fish
How to find trustworthy fish:
- Look for certifications from organizations like Monterey Bay Aquarium
- Buy fresh from local, trusted sources when possible
- Fresh fish should smell and taste like the ocean - clean and slightly briny
Best everyday fish picks:
- Sardines - cheap, nutritious, and delicious especially in summer
- Cod - great raw with tomatoes and olive oil, or slow-cooked in olive oil with garlic for a rich, silky sauce
