Awesome! Would be cool to layer mercury/suggested servings per month over that. posted by melissam at 9:02 AM on July 21, 2011
I second adding mercury information. It would be neat and helpful. posted by jsturgill at 9:59 AM on July 21, 2011
Hrm. The first four fish I typed in (which are very common at least in Minnesota) were unlisted: walleye, northern pike, bass (small mouth or large mouth), perch.
Is there a constraint or assumption that I am missing? Are these only salt water fish and not fresh water? posted by jillithd at 1:23 PM on July 21, 2011
jillithd: No, I just missed them out. I'll add them to my to-do list. posted by Zarkonnen at 2:00 PM on July 21, 2011
OK. Otherwise I found the search quick, easy, and very accurate with the data available. :) posted by jillithd at 2:23 PM on July 21, 2011
also unlisted: bluegill, crappie, sunfish, muskie
Is the list mostly ocean fish? posted by Bonzai at 10:53 AM on July 27, 2011
You are also missing amberjack. Were you inspired by Seafood Watch? posted by oddman at 8:57 PM on July 28, 2011
love this project, but also unlisted is hake, of which i bought 4 lovely fillets only yesterday. I also picked up some nice mackerel, but shame on me i also bought some cod too. posted by kev23f at 2:25 AM on July 31, 2011
Great project.
Is the list valid for buying fish outside the US, too? I had a sense that the Monterey guide, at least, was mostly valid only on the West Coast, but maybe the market for fish is global enough that the rules hold no matter where you are. In any case, I noticed a lot of fish that I can buy where I am that aren't on your list.
