1. Eat Lower On The Food Chain...
Go for the little fish in the big sea: sardines, anchovies, mackerel. The big fish-- the tunas, the swordfish are riddled with mercury and PCBs.
2. Eat Bivalves & Bottom Feeders...
Oysters, clams and scallops are filter feeders and are in the production business of cleaning the environment.
3. Eat Substitutions...
Arctic Char: a relative of salmon, more closely related to trout. I call it salmon light.
Barramundi: is a good replacement for red snapper.
Sablefish (Black Cod): a great fatty fish. It can become the methadone program for Chilean sea bass addicts.
4. Eat Something New...
Tautog: the flesh is flaky, like snapper, but it's got more of a crustacean flavor to it, because they eat shrimp.
Porgy: it's delicious.
Cobia: it's the veal of the ocean. Cook it anyway you want. It's very hard to screw it up.
