Pass.

We just bought a bag of fillets, and being curious, I had Googled to find out what they were before they became cheap fillets. I wonder now if we should eat them, perhaps in small pieces spaced a month apart, or treat the local cats and raccoons?

Wonder if China is any better? Not really wondering about that.

There's more than just Vietnam imported catfish that you should be wary about. We used to have visitors from Vietnam who would give food as gifts, you know, something from the homeland. Or my cousins would send over cultural food that the supermarkets may not carry here in the States. Now, we usually say, thank you, but no thanks. Of recents years, there are stories of the many contaminants and poisonous level chemicals in the food. Chinese and Vietnamese food imports, hmmm.....can't die from occassional consumption. But daily? I don't think so. It's not as if America doesn't have enough problem with contamination in our food.

No thank you. I'll stick to eating kippered snacks.

We get it over here labled as Bassa. We choose not to eat it, but plenty of people do. At least it's usually labled correctly which is something.

I was watching a show called How It's Made, last night. One of the segments was a fish plant in Nova Scotia. They were making frozen breaded fish sticks and several types of frozen breaded fillets. They were using frozen fish from China. I'll bet they are labeled "product of Nova Scotia", with no mention of China. I tried to catch a glimpse of the brand, but they hid that well.

I always tell J that the title of the show is "How It's Made in Quebec" but it appears they are willing to go further East.

xoxoxoBruce · 08-16-2010, 07:37 AM

Quebec? How It's Made, on the Science channel?

Undertoad · 08-16-2010, 07:42 AM

Yeah every time I watch it, I see little things that say eastern Canada.

busterb · 08-19-2010, 03:52 PM

I guess they have to use Quebec or eastern Canada, nothing is made in USA anymore.

I don't eat fish, Ive never really liked it. Tuna's about it usually. However, I keep thinking that it would be a good idea to incorporate more of it into my diet for health reasons, but then I see this kind of report and I just shake my head. I think fish is one of the more contaminated foods around nowadays.

I love seafood, all of it, but I've cut wayyy back on it... as much or more so than beef. I don't buy either for home consumption anymore.
