484: Redefining Farm-Raised Fish
What are our options when it comes to seafood? Farmed fish is often raised with antibiotics and even fed food coloring to dye its flesh to make it appear healthier. The process of wild-caught fish regularly leaves other sea creatures trapped in the nets, only to be discarded and wasted. Sustainable aquaculture shows us that there is a way to raise and harvest fish (and eat them) that is better for them, the environment, and our health! Ty Walker runs Smoke In Chimneys, a revitalized 1930s trout hatchery in Virginia, and today, he reveals what's possible when it comes to identifying and enjoying quality seafood. Today, Ty goes over what's going on with most farmed fish and industrial-scale wild fishing. He reveals issues with overfishing, the "fresh" label on our seafood, and microplastics in our oceans and fish. He points out that sustainable aquaculture is much like regenerative farming; it presents a sustainable and viable option that honors our environment and nurtures our well-being.
