#1 - anchovies #2 - sardines and mackerel (but not king mackerel) #3 - rainbow trout #4 - oysters #5 - salmon (not farmed) #6 - albacore (preferably troll or line caught in US or BC waters) and chunk light tuna Avoid (in order of what to stay furthest away from) - tilapia, farmed salmon, swai, catfish, farmed shrimp, orange roughy

The Tilapia situation is gross and disturbing on multiple levels. Good grief.

Hands down the tastiest and most affordable are sardines packed in water . Primal kitchen chipotle avocado mayonnaise and sardines is a hit 🎯💯

Thank you for all the work and tireless efforts you consistently pour into this channel!

Skipjack tuna was not mentioned. That is the smallest tuna, and gas the least Mercury

Thank you for your dedication ❤

Sardines - Just out of the tin on top of some sticky rice, vegetables, etc. Make a kind of poke bowl out of it. I tried cooking them out of the tin once but it didn't go well. The simplest thing to do is to get good tinned sardines packed in olive oil and learn to enjoy them just as they are. Sardines used to gross me out, like trying to eat cat food. But it's not gross at all you just have to get over that initial reaction. You can even make a kind of tuna salad but with sardines instead of tuna. It's a little stronger taste than tuna. I will sometimes combine it with wild canned salmon to make sardine/salmon salad. Good stuff.

I love fresh Anchovies! Not the tinned salty ones. They usually have them at the deli counters in the uk.

Great analyse Thomas 👏

Great video and very useful practical information. Unfortunately I just can't bring myself to enjoy sardines, maybe I should give it another try.

I always recommend people to eat forage fish. Not only is it way cheaper than salmon, they are rarely farmed.

Just more reasons for me to enjoy my anchovies and sardines 😁

Thank you.

The swordfish in the room lol another great video as usual. Thank you.

Thank you Thomas, this was very informativ. I was just missing the info on one sort of fish: cod. Since the liver is so important it would have been interesting to find out about the meat itself. We love to eat it besides wild caught salmon and sardines in a tin. I never had anchovies because I heard tined ones are extremely salty.

Oh boy....this should be interesting...😮

I cut toxic fish out long ago. Its terrible swai, catfish, tilapia etc are absolutely delicious im sticking with my anchovies, sardines, mackerel, beef liver, boiled eggs, and will continue to not care if people think im a psycho, go ahead people enjoy the hotpockets and honeybuns

Whats your opinion on Steelhead trout? I think i saw a wild caught one at Aldi but was unsure about it so I just went for salmon.

Love smoked mackerel

I buy and eat mostly frozen サバ (mackerel) here in Japan. It is cheep, easy to prepare, requires no additional seasonings, and is available everywhere here. Only, I still cannot say it is of the healthier mackerel Thomas talks about here?

i need some recipes for anchovies and sardines. One that covers up the very fishy smell . I love Rainbow trout and they are best right out of the river. There were a lot of benefits to backpacking and foraging ..fresh trout being a major one.

I get wild caught Alaska cod through Butcherbox. It’s delicious, really mild.

Love your channel, thank you for always sharing ❤

Bombay duck is a bottom feeder , tends to have higher microplastics contamination

It's important to realize that West Coast (Washington) oysters are notoriously high in cadmium.

What brand to buy anchovies?

Are tinned sardines and oysters ok? These are the easiest way to eat them. The ones in springwater not oil. Is there any danger of aluminium from tinned fish?

What about seabream and seabass? My favourites

Thoughts on Halibut !??

Here are the key takeaways from Thomas DeLauer’s video "The Best Fish to Eat for Fat Loss (and what to never eat)": 1. **High-Quality Protein Sources**: Anchovies are highlighted as a top choice due to their high amino acid profile, which is crucial for muscle building, recovery, and longevity. 2. **Fatty Acid Composition**: It's important to consider not just the omega-3 content in fish but also the balance of saturated, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated fats. Anchovies, Bombay duck, and certain obscure fish like lizard fish score highly for beneficial fats that support metabolism and insulin sensitivity. 3. **Nutrient-Rich Shellfish**: Shellfish like oysters, scallops, and shrimp are superior in zinc, B12, and selenium content, making them excellent for boosting the immune system and providing high levels of other essential minerals. 4. **Heavy Metal Content and Fish Size**: Larger and longer-living fish like swordfish and shark accumulate more heavy metals and should generally be avoided. However, moderate consumption of smaller fish like tuna can be safer, especially given selenium's potential to mitigate mercury exposure. 5. **Avoid Farmed Fish**: Farmed fish generally have lower nutritional values and may contain antibiotics. However, farmed shellfish are an exception due to different farming practices that typically don't involve harmful antibiotics. 6. **Sustainable Choices**: Opt for fish that are abundant and have a shorter lifespan to support sustainability. Anchovies and sardines are excellent choices. 7. **Healthier Fish Options**: Along with anchovies, sardines, and mackerel, rainbow trout and oysters are recommended for their beneficial nutrients and lower heavy metal content. 8. **Fish to Avoid**: Stay away from tilapia, farmed salmon, and regular catfish due to their poor nutritional profiles, high potential contaminant levels, and environmental concerns.

I do wish you had posted this vid at the start Lent.

Just a comment for the algorithm. Great videos !

Hi Thomas! Could you please post a video about your nutritional advice for young, lean/skinny and metabolically healthy people who want to build muscle in the best possible way. Protein should be clear by now, but what about the amount/ratio of carbs and fats?

11:06 "...relatively low fat overall..." The problem with smoked oysters is they usually come packed in oil.

Whole Foods Market says their farmed salmon is "responsibly farmed" and fed krill and shrimp. As you said, just because it's farmed doesn't make it bad. What do you think?

I'm going to add anchovies to my cod liver, sardine and tuna pate I make in my blender. Sounds gross, but doesn't have much taste. I mix it with fresh sauerkraut or kimchi when I go kayaking for a snack. If this combination isn't a superfood, what is?

Random I know. Makes me wonder if the fish sauce and fish broth (primarily anchovies) I use for Asian dishes has any of the amino acids. Or if they get cooked out. 🤔

Wasn't there the story about the navy taking care of dolphins, which then reach double the age of wild dolphins? And they eat mainly certain fish high in saturated fat. But it is the 17 junction saturated fat and turned out this is pretty good for humans as well.

what about fish sauce - made from anchovies and salt?

What about wild caught tilapia?

A new-ish fish that's appearing in the grocery is "basa". It's similar to tilapia; it's a white fish, very delicate of flake; a Vietnamese fish ,,,,, and VERY TOXIC.

What about wild caught cod?

Anchovis, Sardinen, Makrelen, Regenbogenforelle, Muscheln, Wildlachs, kein Tilapia, kein Farmlachs, Farmkrabben

Did they do any in depth studies on goldfish? Need to.

Restaurants in Atlanta are passing swai off for more expensive fish😢

I like sardines but don’t eat as much now based on data it’s contaminated w/ microplastics. Also in mackerel and anchovy. Science Direct has a research article about it.

Dam ive been crushing talapia lately 😮

What about herring?

What about farmed salmon in japan it’s also significantly different from the US. I personally can’t stand wild salmon unless it’s from the Faroe Islands which is very hard and expensive to find.

I dont know whats the best but i prefer atlantic cod for the taste

Tomorrow is my grocery store day and I was gonna pick up some Tilapia. I will not be getting the Tilapia.

pollock & sardines for me

Wow herring didn't make the list. I doubt that the farm raised fish would have iodine and or selenium.

Orange roughy around when Winston Churchill was a teenager

How about the canned tuna in water and the packs of tuna, is one better than the other?

made it all the way to the end just to be stabbed in the heart..... gonna miss you Orange Roughy, you were one of my favorites.

Amazing knowledgeable content, great video. I only do cod or haddock. Golden. And do not add anything people. just flakes of plain fish. PROTEIN. 1/2 pound sitting at a time, around 45 grams of protein in the sitting. Done in the middle of the day.

Generally a fan of your content but just want to point out a bit of misinformation: The "Japanese radiation leak" as you referred to it is a non-issue. The levels in that water which was released was negligible.

I eat a daily can of sardines.

I gave sardines an honest try. I opened the can...but I couldn't get past the smell. I was gagging and couldn't get them into my mouth.

Counting the times he says "removing the segment of white flour, sugar and other things a diabetic should definitely not eat in radial baked confection!"

Anchovies are very salty.

Everyone seems to be talking about zinc what about the sleeping giant copper?

got to 2mins then got boring.... no mention about how you like the taste salmon my favourite...Fresh scotch wild farmed or tuna steaks from grimsby.....❤👍

Shellfish is contaminated with lead, cadmium and arsenic, and has the same contamination problems as fish.

Have a piece of bread and dye it pink lol lol lol this is the best

If you do not like anchovies, or salmon your kinda are limited. I may be able to tolerate Mackerel and I definitely will not eat any type of shell fish. I guess will have to hope for the best

I prefer cod. Although I know nothing about it as far as safety.

I wish I loved anchovies 😢

Oysters and other shellfish live a long time and as bottom feeders - where heavy metals and other pollutants settle. That doesn't bother you? Not worth mentioning?

The larger the fish the more mercury, that's all I go on. Sardines for me. I see the shelves overloaded with tuna and call it tinned mercury. Forget even farmed oysters, I can't find any that aren't china origin.

Shit, I’m having tilapia for dinner. Every Monday 😂

Can’t stand farm raised. Get fish from Flying Fish at pike Place Market Seattle. They get their fish from Alaska. To send it to other states is $50. Overnight send. Tilapia is horrible! Tastes like dirt

Why is regular Catfish so bad?

I'm sure if they did have it at Olive Garden, they'd find a way to make it unhealthy.

*cod* has entered da chat Sharks & swordfish iz bad kuz it eat otha fish

Mahi-mahi? Assuming middle of the road?

I only eat pink fish. ;-)

The price of sardines and mackerel are going up. 😢

When I saw the thumbnail my mind immediately said Tilapia. If you're actually starving to death I wouldn't turn it down but if you have choices and trying to eat and be as healthy as possible I would stay far far away from it.

Tuna ok? Tuna in can lol

It's not worth eating fish, heavy metals and micro pladtics are that bad. Krill oil or algea oil is the way to go.

I have a reservation regarding the oysters since they all come from China in grocery stores…

Is there any real danger in eating seafood everyday?

1. Anchovies 2. Whale 3. Mullet 4. Minnows 5. Goldfish

You have to create an account to see their website. I'm out no thank you. Use a reputable sponsor please not one that forces you to create an account so they can spam your email.

If it's not salt water fish that i caught I'm not eating it.

Wvery fear heavy metals… if they only knew where their spices come from….

Farmed salmon is perfect for sushi since it's the surest way to make sure there's no parasites that's introduced via wild food. Tuna is great at filtering that naturally, but salmon needs to be monitored if you are not able to do the entire freezing process

What about farmed salmon from Whole Foods it’s apparently not dyed and nutritious?

USAFA🇺🇸

Now the Japan is dumping all their nuclear waste water from Fucushima into the ocean which makes the polution extremely worse. I dont k ow why noone is saying anything about that.

Tilapia is garbage fish. I will not touch it.

I just can't eat Anchovies. NO.

Dude you are dead wrong about farmed salmon…it’s the country of where the fish is sourced from. Salmon from Norway or New Zealand are antibiotic free. Argentina salmon…no!

A dead fish handshake is never acceptable!!

I'll stick with my smoked herring kippers from Newfoundland. Yummo! Low on the chain, 2.5 grams of DHA heavy Omegas and decent protein. Cannot do anchovies. Sardines on occasion. Farmed fish is hideous. I'm out.

"If you want eat farm salmon you might has well take a piece of bread and dye it pink" is the dumbest thing thomas has ever said

Tilapia tastes like dirt to me & I can't stand farm raised fish.

Is McDonald's Fish Fillet healthy? Seriously.
