woodenboater Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 Thanks for the link BB. I was familiar with most of those results except for the one about oysters. Good excuse to hit Rodney's or Starfish (oyster bars in Toronto). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormdunker Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 Thanx for the info. I usually eat sardines & albacore tuna. Surprising to read about grouper not be a healthy fish to eat. Ive never seen any info about walleye, pike & perch. How do they rate these species? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torco Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 Good link, something I have been trying to do for a while now. Its very difficult process for the consumer in Canada as food labeling of fish is damn near useless in this country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodenboater Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 thanks for the recommendation Sinclair, grew up in the area when kensington used to be called the Jewish Market (now it's just cool hispters and their stupid mopeds). If they have Kumamotos, I'm there ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregoire Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 Try Smokeless Joe on College west of Bathurst. It's a little hole in the wall outfit with great oysters, a very unique draft selection, and a knowledgable tender. I was wondering where that bar moved to. Used to be a regular visit for me after Jays games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snidley Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 I wonder where the fish that Chinese people eat would be classified. They eat Milkfish, a plankton feeder and spectacular gamefish if you can get them to take an algae fly, Capelins,a smallish fish that looks like a really silvery sardine and Bassa which I know is a horrible farmed catfish to eat. There's literally hundreds of other fish they eat if the frozen fish locker at the Y&M is anything to go on. There might be some very good options there if we knew about them.

Billy Bob Posted November 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 Just about ANY fish is still better then red meat.... It's just the red meat industry has lobbiest in government to not give you the details like eating fresh caught fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adolson Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 I've seen these types of lists from various sources and they're all a little different, but they usually have a few things in common - wild Pacific salmon and Canadian farmed non-Great Lakes rainbow trout. As fish go, I mostly eat those and trouts I catch myself (and sometimes walleye, bass, and pike, but that's all increasingly rare for me). But out of curiosity, what makes red meat so bad for you? I don't eat it every day, but I'm just curious why everyone says that, but never really gives a reason. When I eat a steak, I eat the fat and everything. But I buy the locally-raised, grass-fed, antibiotics-free, hormone-free stuff from Mennonites. And yes, it tastes much better than the grocery store stuff. Mmm, conjugated linoleic acid...

Sin correct me if I'm wrong but I think it's the cholesterol and I think there was something about a bad strain of protoein, might be wrong though.

Mike Pike Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 Love da oysters so nice to know they're good for ya! Actually, I was already aware of that. Last year, I bought an oyster shucker and took up the fine art. There are no oyster bars that I knew of in Hamilton( Burlington has a couple, though ), so I had to learn how to do it if I wanted to enjoy 'em. Pretty easy to, actually. Lots of instruction available on youtube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ch312 Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 Sin correct me if I'm wrong but I think it's the cholesterol and I think there was something about a bad strain of protoein, might be wrong though. high cholesterol and saturated fats in red meat are a couple reasons you should limit your intake. fish is definitely a healthier alternative assuming it's not taken from the hamilton harbor and deep fried before being dipped in tartar sauce...

Billy Bob Posted November 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 (edited) If you LOVE OYSTERS you will love this event...but tickets sell REAL REAL fast...sometimes in minutes........ http://www.eventfarm.com/oysterriot http://www.ebbitt.com/images/pdf/2012_Ebbitt_Comp_Results.pdf In 2011 they served over 73,000 Oysters plus award winning wines...it's a all you can eat and drink (wine) oyster feasible....if I remember correctly it was $140 each...they only serve the FINEST oysters there.... http://www.ebbitt.com/images/menus_pdf/Oyster.pdf?20121127 Edited November 27, 2012 by Billy Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adolson Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 Saturated animal fat is good for you (see disclaimer above) And research shows that only select people have a correlation between their blood and dietary cholesterol levels, but most people do not.

funfishing Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 I am going to speculate that this study may have been funded in part by the suppliers of the very fish it's promoting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave524 Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 (edited) The healthiest fish I eat are any I catch myself, cause as an older retired fella it is probably the most exercise and fresh air I get during the day and my state of mind is much better after a day fishing, as to the health aspects of locally caught fish , they haven't done me any harm yet that I know of.

Billy Bob Posted November 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 (edited) A very select few. How common is this: You hear someone say "I eat bacon and eggs and meat and butter all the time and my Doctor can't believe how good my blood test results are" or the opposite "I eat healthy... grains, soy, low-fat dairy, margarine, canola oil and take prescription medication, but my cholesterol is still high" The sooner this stuff gets out and widely accepted the better. The low-fat food guide is killing North America. But, keep eating your 6 servings of grains and taking your Lipitor. It's good for the GDP! Again, this is just my self-educated/researched opinion. THANK GOD you're not my doctor or anyone else's doctor.... Edited November 27, 2012 by Billy Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Bob Posted November 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 It's ok Billy. It's not a popular stance, I understand.

Christopheraaron Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 Lipitor is the most prescribed cholesterol lowering medication on the market. The conventional treatment for high cholesterol is a low-fat, grain rich diet.....and medication. They're ads aren't enough of a warning? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogyC9rEjxDM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
