Fish with the correct omega ratios ??

[speedymagee]

I understand Tilapia has weird omega 3 to 6 proportions because they are farmed and fed an unnatural diet.

I'm assuming any fish that is wild caught would be ok.

For example:
wild salmon
char
cod
sole

any others??

Salmon yes, nothing farmed. I do not know alot, learning more everyday with my low Vitamin D level. I am interested to see other responses too.

My understanding is, and i could be wrong, is that wild caught is important with fatty fish such as catfish and salmon (there are others, I just can't name them) because the fattier the fish, the higher the Omegas and obviously, the more potential for the ratio to be off than in a fairly lean fish, such as tilapia, where the fat content is so low, the ratio isn't as important because there just isn't enough fat to make that much of a difference.

Hey girls
Your key here is wild cold water fatty fish......
salmon
mackeral
sardines
anchovy
Catfish actually lives in warmer waters

Fish to Avoid
I avoid grouper, black sea bass, rockfish, and most snapper because those species are endangered from overfishing. Cod, pollock, flounder, halibut, sole, and plaice are still relatively abundant in the Pacific but seriously depleted in the Atlantic. Finally, skate, rockfish, Chilean sea bass, and orange roughy are threatened, because they do not spawn until they are old, 30 years in the case of orange roughy, and unless they are managed well, they will be overfished to depletion. Species that are still abundant and well managed include striped bass, wild Alaskan salmon, herring,sardines, anchovies, mackerel, and Alaskan halibut. Try to keep these distinctions in mind if you want to continue enjoying fish.
