For a rare treat I'll enjoy some salmon, either cooked-from-frozen or as sashimi (preferred, even over otoro). Once I learned more about tuna I see them now as wolves of the sea (rather than chickens) and generally avoid eating animals that are high on a food chain. Sardines, mackerel, and bivalves, along with sea greens of all sorts (wakame, nori, alaria, dulse, kelp, etc) are what I eat more often, in part inspired by Bren Smith's book Eat Like a Fish [0].

- Py-o7 5y agoSardines, mackerel, oysters, mussels and sea vegetables... this sounds a lot like me, except I also eat salmon regularly. My understanding is tuna, especially the premium kinds like blue fin that show up in sushi, is loaded with mercury, PCBs and a lot of other bad news. The deleterious effect (of PCBs in this case) is already showing up in orcas that eat large prey like tuna https://phys.org/news/2018-09-pcb-pollution-threatens-killer-whales.html https://phys.org/news/2018-09-pcb-pollution-threatens-killer...
