I commercial fish for salmon so bias aside I would not buy any seafood that wasn't caught in us waters. For moral and health reasons. Japan Russia China and Thailand d don't give a fuck and have been steadily destroying their own fish stocks since industrial fishing has existed. Also they were destroying ours up until the 1960s. Also don't eat imitation crab it's fucking gross and so are the farmed fish. Farmed Atlantic salmon from b.c have been found escaping into the wild population and are fucking up stocks. They are fed dog food and kept in closed pens like cows so easy recipe for disease. The bottom and the water around the farms are often polluted. Their meat is pale and gross and not as good for you. Just sayin if your gonna buy seafood get something nice that didn't require destroying habitat, water quality, wild stocks, possible slave labor in Thailand case or whatever other nasty shit that goes on.
I realize my job involves killing but atleast I'm killing a wild sustainable and renewable resource rather than a cow that was kept in a cage with 100 other cows fed shit, lived in shit, pumped with antibiotics etc.
