If you must eat seafood, use a condom (I mean, eat it responsibly)

Found this guide to eating seafood responsibly. What it doesn't say (surprisingly) is that it also might be better to consume farm-raised varieties rather than wild-caught. The other thing it could mention is that if it's possible, consume the invasives (lionfish, Asian carp) in MASS QUANTITIES!

Six ways to eat seafood responsibly

"Way number 1: Do your homework: It’s my belief that sustainable seafood is pretty simple. Unsustainable seafood is exceptionally complicated. With green-listed seafood, it’s a good idea to support those fisheries since many of those species represent the best opportunities we have available to us. Also, the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) does a really good job of labeling sustainable fisheries. No label doesn’t mean it’s not sustainable, but MSC certification includes a rigorous chain of information that ensures you’re getting what’s on the label."


Now, I just wish there was a way to make zebra mussel soup or quagga chowder, and eat it in MASS QUANTITIES, too!
