Scott on your healthy shopping list for life you state for fish:
Fish ( tilapia, Cod, Halibut, and on occasion Salmon and sea bass ).

Why on occasion Salmon? I eat Alaskan wild caught pink Salmon 2 to 3 times a week alternating with Albacore tuna. Salmon and tuna are mostly what my lunch at work consists of alternating the 2 to 3 times a week with each other. Lean beef and skinless chicken make uf most of my dinner. Some might say boring but I know it's good for me so eating the same thing doesn't bother me at all.

I too eat wild Alaskan salmon. Pound-for-pound, salmon is the best fish you can eat. It has as much protein as tuna with less mercury and it has higher Omega 3 fats than any other fish. Tilapia is more often than not farmed and is a very "dirty" fish based on contamination with PCBs and other nasty stuff. I would avoid Tilapia. Cod and Halibut are good choices but don't match salmon or tuna for protein and Omega 3 content.

 

 

If I had to rank fish, I would rank them like this:

 

1) Alaskan Salmon

2) Bluefin Tuna

3) Albacore Tuna

4) Mackeral

5) Cod

6) Halibut

7) Tilapia

Nothing wrong with having salmon more often. It's just more expensive which is probably why it's mentioned as 'on occasion' haha. But you can keep doing what you're doing Vinny and eating it multiple times a week 😊 

Fish intake is mainly Salmon and albacore tuna. Anything other it is usually cod. Wild Planet pink salmon is really good aside of the amount of sodium in one can. 600 mgs total. It puts me at average of 3000 to 3200 mgs sodium for the day. Chicken of the sea has a low sodium variety but it is pretty gross with the amount of bones and what looks to be cartlage or just little round bones. I also have salmon steaks to add to the mix, Not all canned stuff. Way back when I was big into weights I consumed 2 cans of tuna a day for 6 days for about 1 1/2 years. Didn't turn into a thermometer LOL.

The canned salmon isn't to bad price wise. I started to buy Wild Planet brand which is the albacore of salmon. Nice chunky meat in the can. Sodium is kind of high for the entire can which is 3 servings but I manage to keep sodium intake respectable even with the 600mgs total 36 grams of protein. I'll also buy a monster piece of salmon from BJ'S and cut it into 4 to 6 oz portions and freeze it. Walmart has frozen wild caught in 4 to 6 oz packets vacuum sealed which is pretty good price wise. I weigh all my food so I know what I'm taking in.
