You're right, the fish situation is confusing and no one at the Whole Foods I occasionally frequent here in Colorado seems to have convincing answers either. The environmental and species problems related to farmed fish are many -- it's very sad. No easy answers, that's for sure. Pass the canned sardines, please.

I asked whether this was a response to the Wash Post's food article last Wednesday on sardines and the clerk said, no. And he hadn't noticed any uptick in demand for sardines, either. Whole Foods was not mentioned in the Post as a source for sardines. Wonder why. They were selling for $10.99 a pound. The price on halibut was so good (relatively), down from the usual $21 a pound to $13.99 that I bought a piece. Now would be the time to buy your halibut--and some sardines. They only had 10 pounds on hand.

Maybe I'll have some halibut soon. And that's great to know about the Chilean sea bass, which I've never tasted because I assumed was a universal no-no. Good to know about the MSC label. Too bad about not having sardines available, though. Wow, thanks for this detailed run-down. Maybe I’ll have some halibut soon.
