The ick factor is really turning me off of fish and I love fish. It might be safe but something about worms and parasites gives me the creeps. On top of that, it seems that many times the fish you order might not be the fish you receive. For someone that cares, I'm starting to find it confusing to keep up with what fish I want to avoid, and whether I should seek fresh or farmed, frozen, etc... http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2017/04/27/testing-shows-many-bay-area-restaurants-mislabeling-fish/ http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2017/04/27/testing-shows-ma...

Refer to the Monterey Bay Aqauarium's Consumer Guides for the most ecologically responsible choices of fish. From those, cross reference with a list of "healthy fish" such as https://www.rodalesorganiclife.com/food/healthy-fish https://www.rodalesorganiclife.com/food/healthy-fish . As for "honest labeling", I just don't pay lots of money for fish. Culinary skill is more likely to make it taste great than exotic variety. I think you really shouldn't consider it so much, though. A lot of work is put into minimizing how "unsightly" our food is and it results in a lot of waste. Fruit and veggies have more parasites than fish, for example, and consumer-facing fish gets a lot of prep work before you ever get to see it.
