Posted this a while back. Beware of sushi tuna....

I wouldn't purchase or eat anything from overseas! Worse one is the shrimp that is consumed by the billions here in the states, all imported from that fifthy freakin Vietnam, whose own government warns their people not to drink the water without boiling it, yet the billions and billions of shrimp sold throughout this country in the costcos, shoprites, etc, are packed in that filthy frozen tap water laden with bacteria and made into ice, then shipped off to this country. Japan actually turns back millions of pounds of shrimp from Vietnam because of this very issue. Yet the FDA only samples 2.7 percent of all that crap imported from that garbage laden landfill of a country.
And as far as the rest of the shit coming in from overseas, tilapia, chilean sea bass...........please, don't get me started. I rather eat out of a dumpster. People need to wake up...........Yes, I eat everything I catch. I know where it came from.

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the demand for seafood in the US far too great to be met by domestic catches? I think I remember reading that WAY over 1/2 of what we consume is imported. That said, we need to address this problem of un inspected seafood and false labeling.

...and not for nothing, after eating (legal) bluefin right off the boat I have yet to order/buy tuna of any kind since. That stuff is the food of the gods so its no wonder they're being fished so hard.

I dont know about that one - that is what the government tells us. They also tell us we overfish. It comes down to money , political lobbyist and foriegn interests. America for Sale to the highest bidder.The rules are made for big businesses and corporations - Not us - look at catch shares -

I am with Captain Ron on this

Gdubs- JMHO -

This is another reason why I only eat fish I catch... Except for sushi and Chilean Seabass cause Capt Ron hasn't figured a way to catch those locally yet!
