About Seafood

The cherry on top of a long weekend is a short week. Last weekend really jump-started our motivation to explore every inch of Hawaii and I cannot wait for this one. Valentine's Day was super low key....

The mercury-warning-signs-on-seafood crowd has pulled a David Hasselhoff. They've been shopping their alarmist rhetoric in the U.S. for years now. Despite the fact that doctors, dietitians, independe...

Monday's edition of the Bradenton Herald in Bradenton, Florida offers us evidence educated health professionals are getting the message that inflated concerns about mercury in seafood have been over-s...

Fridays just before a three-day weekend are the best. Sometimes the anticipation of a full 72-hour respite is arguably better than the actual respite. But I'm confident this weekend will live up to m...

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) renewed the agencys policy statement on the net weight of glazed seafood products by incorporating a 1991 warning to the frozen seafood industry as a compli...

I don't know if any of you saw this misguided mess on U.S. News and World Report's site, but a blog called Fresh Greens claims to be looking out for consumers by naming 10 risky foods. Unfortunately s...

In my last entry about the obvious problems found in a recent Associated Press article I noted that I had actually been fairly pleased with the recent state of reporting on seafood. As an example I no...

Last Tuesday I got on a plane in balmy Honolulu and (some minor delays and a red-eye later) got off in icy Washington, DC. I'm back for work - one of four trips I'll make this year to attend meetings...
