I have been trying frozen fish recently and found poor flavor, color, texture and moistness in fish fillets from China, Russia, and Vietnam. I haven't tried any from Thailand, India, Malaysia, or Indonesia but I'll avoid them until methods improve. Japanese frozen fish seems to be a good bet, but hard to find.
I moved away from urban centers, so I tend to stock up good items for the freezer. I still buy fresh fish from RCSS and first nation door to door sellers, but I want my freezer space to offer a certain amount of choice.
good idea. i'm going to jump on this plan as well mainly for a few reasons:

3. support canadian companies if possible
actually it's becoming more common if you read about it. yes i've seen clips, read articles, and have been to china twice. how else are you supposed to learn about something? magically absorb it through your feet?
so you went to china twice just to learn something about them?thepersianguy wrote: ↑Jan 20th, 2013 9:23 pmactually it's becoming more common if you read about it. yes i've seen clips, read articles, and have been to china twice. how else are you supposed to learn about something? magically absorb it through your feet?
if i choose to not put chinese made food products in my body that's a fair choice. i'm not boycotting chinese i will still purchase goods, just not the ones that will be eaten.
as for you, how many claims of plastic rice, lead in milk products, capsules made of fetuses, etc etc. do you need to start to believe it?
here's some reading for you:

no that wasn't the main point of my trip. do you have to travel to switzerland to learn about the large hadron collider? do you have to travel to anarctica to see emperor penguins? fetus capsules were being exported outside the country, my point wasn't about how many chinese people are eating them. there was recently a large shipment seized of these things in south korea :http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/world_n ... mains.htmlippon wrote: ↑Jan 20th, 2013 9:35 pmso you went to china twice just to learn something about them?
that you choose to not eat chinese food is YOUR choice, not fair choice. you don't know what fair means. of billion chinese people, how many people eat fetus capsules? and do you actually believe that the plastic rice thing is not a hoax? let me guess, you think fake eggs are real too.
i believe the chinese have done a remarkable job considering their over billion population.
i despise news sensationalism.
lol, it is YOU who said 'how else are you supposed to learn about something?', after boasting about visiting china twice.thepersianguy wrote: ↑Jan 20th, 2013 10:22 pmno that wasn't the main point of my trip. do you have to travel to switzerland to learn about the large hadron collider? do you have to travel to anarctica to see emperor penguins? fetus capsules were being exported outside the country, my point wasn't about how many chinese people are eating them. there was recently a large shipment seized of these things in south korea :http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/world_n ... mains.html
let me guess you think the photos of pollution in beijing are photoshopped? they have done a remarkable job with over a billion people, and so has india. i'm not singling china out there are plenty of things from other places that i wont buy either.
anyway that's my piece, obviously we don't see eye to eye so no point in going any further with this.
Also don't forget the plasticizer DINP they also used for making bottled drinks, such as tea.Aznsilvrboy wrote: ↑Jan 20th, 2013 10:57 pmPlastic rice and fake eggs are all real. So is stinky tofu made with real ***** water.
