Fresh fish too is such a killer. I’m sorry, but do not buy seafood if you live in the Midwestern United States, especially anything live or fresh. Frozen is slightly better, but even then think of what goes in to making that happen.
All of the seafood in the Midwest has been frozen and thawed back out at the grocery store. Fresh fish in the Midwest and even near the coast is a lie. 85% of all us fish consumed is imported, and it was frozen before it ever got into US territory. Many fishing boats freeze them on ship, even. The only way you can chance upon “fresh” fish is if it’s in season and near the coast you’re buying in.

The Midwest has the great lakes. Too bad we killed a lot of the stuff in there.
Local is always going to be the best option, so it is a shame we absolutely devastated local environments to ship food halfway across the world
