Three Fish to Eat Instead of Tilapia
When shopping for fish, wild-caught are usually the way to go. When shopping for wild-caught fish, looking for fish lower on the food chain is better to avoid environmental toxins. To be environmentally conscious, looks for fish certified by the MSC (Marine Stewardship Council) (3).
If you buy farmed fish, be sure it states the fish were raised without hormones or antibiotics, not treated with synthetic herbicides, were farmed in low-density pens/tanks and that they were fed a natural diet (3).
1. US Haddock - has moderate mercury and is sustainably fished (4)
a. With similar protein content, higher iron and lower saturated fat, wild-caught US haddock is a good alternative (5)
2. California and Pacific Halibut - moderate mercury levels and is sustainably fished (4)
. With similar protein content and mild taste, higher iron, Vitamin A, iron and lower saturated fat, wild-caught halibut can replace tilapia in most recipes (5)
3. Alaska Cod - moderate mercury levels and is sustainably fished (4)
. With roughly equal protein content per gram, lower saturated fat and higher potassium, cod is flakey and delicious (5)

Note** The Monterey Bay Aquarium offers a free Seafood Watch app as a helpful tool you can bring with you to the market or out to eat. The app does not comment on the risk of mercury toxicity, but it does help you to choose responsibly.


.Note: When possible, eating oily fish high in omega-3 fatty acids is the way to go. Try wild Alaskan salmon, Pacific sardines and black cod.
