Monterey Bay Aquarium has guides for each part of the country with information on what marine life is safe to eat and what should be avoided. I carry them with me in my wallet for reference when I go out to eat. You can download PDFs or get an iPhone version here:

The FDA has to step up their inspections.Less than 1% is pathetic.

Beerfish nice link, thanks.
We just came back from a supermarket and I was looking at the frozen fish just for the heck of it. Almost all of it is from Asia. I did see clams from the US but I buy those fresh or collect them myself.
There is a red white and blue packaged brand of frozen fish that is from the American Seafood Company, it is all from Asia and I am writing to them about their false advertising.
I know a lot of people buy that stuff because it's cheaper and thats fine if you want that. I gladly pay extra for American fish and all other products.
Even if that fish is free, I won't eat it.

Dubs, even though we eat shrimp every week we gave it up until it is back in the US.
I will not eat foreign shrimp even if it's for free.

 

[ZANYMASTER]

There's a lot of shrimping in the Chesapeake area isn't there?

Mercury is in all fish now, not just American fish. I rarely eat fruit from Chili or any foreign country and I almost never eat red meat. I go shopping with my wife once a week and when the grapes are from Chili, we don't eat grapes, when pineapples are from Indonesia, we don't eat pineapples, Limes from south America, nope.
Pistacchios from Israel, no thanks. We buy a lot of honey and there is only one brand made in the US, It is more expensive, but thats what we buy.
When the cars are no longer built in the US, I will build it myself.
Besides chemicals and pesticides I like to support American workers.
We should not complain if we wake up to an Indian radio, put on a Vietnamese shirt,
brush our teeth with Chinese toothpaste, jump into a Mitsubishi to drive to the unimployment office.

I personally do not trust any food that comes from Long Island as I a have phobia of illegal dumpings done in the old days of NY waste companies. I personally withness numerous needles in the streams of Long Island area. If you have not been to those area, you must have at least heard about for couple years, Coney Island / Brighton Beach tons of medical waste including, once again, needles on the beach were washed up during the stormy season.

The truth is that it's hard to tell where food is safe unless they were really tested. So any wild caught food is a hazard as well. I study in Buffalo, lived with native Americans for short periods of time in couple study and investigate part of the nation's most notorius waste site and the story make you chil to the bones. LOVE CANAL Buffalo.

If you dig deeper into the incident, you can tell that those chemical may have already leaked to the water ways of buffalo and washed down stream to PA and certain parts of NY state! Note how the dump site is actually linked to the water way.

This incident is only the tip of an iceberg in the old days which are still hanuting us today.

Two very disturbing pics of the site are attached. See how the ground sank over the toxic waste barrels and how close the big toxic leaking tanks were by the houses.

It is a Dell which I am sure is made in japan. If there was a computer made in the US I would buy it but unfortunately there is no such thing.

Wingo that is true. I see waste all over the place. I don't think we sell fish from Love Canal though. At least I hope not.
Anyway, me being an American I like to support American industry, what there is left of it and I think citizens of poorer countries should support their local economy.

Oh ironically, I was in Catskill NY last weekend where NYC drinking water comes from. If you guys look at the spring water there, it does not look too appealing either even though after miles of mountain filtration, I think they are pretty good water before we drink it at our tap. LOL

During the whole festival, men in uniforms are covering the mountains over watching us like terrorists. They yelled at the farm owner to remove the camera while he is filming the area. LOL. You know what, thoese men in uniform are not state police nor the local police(we hired the local police to guard the festival), they are DEP. LOL.
