In Asia, this would mainly concern Japan. Chinese normally prefer domestic cooked fish and Koreans also do not use much tuna in their sashimi.

One good development would be to encourage especially chefs at hotels, cruise ships and other large fish consuming kitchens to switch to less endangered species. I think this is where the majority of the tuna in Asia and elsewhere goes to.

We've severely overharvested Atlantic Bluefin stocks, and continue to do so, to satisfy the worldwide demand for this kind of fish. Bluefin are very long lived, and take a while to reach maturity, so our consumption is absolutely decimating the wild populations and killing the species before enough fish reach the right age to reproduce. If we give the fish time to recover, we can sustainably fish them, but they need 20+ years *National Geographic estimate, not mine* before we start catching them again.

Another reminder to avoid most farmed atlantic salmon that's grown in the Pacific.

Tuna Bluefin

yum ^ just had some last Sat :p

my version of the list would be inverted :D

Few of us are under any illusions that there aren't plenty of people just like you around.

Just be sure to enjoy and memorise every bite so you have something to tell the grandchildren about.

Taste awful as well. :td: I've tried several different types with different sauces & cooking method and still remains awful.

Why are imported mahi mahi bad? They are a fast growing, fast maturing species, so I'd be a bit surprised if it was overfishing. Is it a bycatch issue?

I'd agree but unfortunately the atlantic cod may never recover from overfishing.

Re: Bluefin Tuna

Don't worry, it is not a free for all anymore.

Junk science.

ive had monkfish liver a few times, liked the preparation

That's pretty pathetic. :td:

The Vancouver Aquarium has a similar program to encourage the consumption of seafood in a sustainable manner.

See: http://www.oceanwisecanada.org.

"I cannot emphasize enough, PLEASE do NOT eat Atlantic Cod or Atlantic Bluefin Tuna! We really need to let the Cod stocks replenish themselves and we REALLY need to stop eating Atlantic/Mediterranean Bluefin Tuna. I only wish those in Asia would take note of this and stop ordering Bluefin in their Sushi/Sashimi."

Amen to that. Sadly, the law of the seas can do little in stopping the Spaniards and the Portugese from fishing the Grand Bank stocks into extinction. It's nice to see that at least some people realize this.

Got an investment in fish farms, eh?
