I thought only farmed salmon were bad. Care to elaborate what you know about farmed black cod? Thanks!jbone14 wrote: ↑ First and foremast, thanks for sharing this! Unfortunately I thought I stumbled upon the holy grail until I read the tag in your picture lol! Please put "farmed" in the title as there is a massive difference between wild Sablefish (black cod) and farmed black cod. Its still a pretty decent price nonetheless as its half the price of wild but I wont venture into any farmed fish from Costco after all the press over the years as well as personal experience.
Far from a unicorn purchase, just checked in with Dad and they have it at Costco Langley as of two days ago so it must be or might be country wide.
Like I said, I just wont personally venture into farmed fish in general from Costco. My overall experience was soured after the Steelhead by both the press and my own personal experiences with it. I know years back, Black Cod farming wasn't even feasible as the fish took too long to grow to "market size" (which is 5-7 lbs I believe) so they must have made some major changes somehow to make them grow faster or something. No knowledge or anything about the farmed black cod otherwise.starscreamX wrote: ↑ I thought only farmed salmon were bad. Care to elaborate what you know about farmed black cod? Thanks!

Honestly, just pop "Costco Farmed Fish" or the like into Google as there are far too many to share. I am not saying that in any way shape or form to come across as an a-hole (as whenever you tell someone to Google it will always seemingly come across poorly) but there really are that many articles on the subject. They have a bad history will selling Norwegian farmed salmon projects (same as Chefs Plate) which are some of the most toxic food products in the world... several major documentaries on that topic as well. Lets not side track OP though, send me a PM if you like.aviator_13 wrote: ↑ Links I could read to better inform myself?
Read my post, it was at Langley two days ago, probably still is just call your local store if you want it.Vancouverite604 wrote: ↑ You didn't tell us 2 weeks ago and now you want RFDs help? Come on...
I would have wanted to buy some when you saw it 2 weeks ago. This isn't a Hot Deal at all.
Try calling your local store and get them to look up inventory for that sku.Gunfunk wrote: ↑ Hi. I saw whole black cod at Costco 2 Friday’s ago in Ontario. Bought it right away.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethoxyquin#cite_note-7(4) The European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) stated in its opinion of 21 October 2015 (3) that the assessment of the particulars and documents submitted by the applicant makes it impossible to conclude on the safety of the additive ethoxyquin for any target animals, for consumers and for the environment. This is due to an overall lack of data submitted to assess the exposure and the safety of ethoxyquin for animals, consumers and the environment. In particular, no conclusion is possible on the absence of genotoxicity of one of the metabolites of the additive ethoxyquin, ethoxyquin quinone imine. In addition, p-phenetidine, an impurity of the additive ethoxyquin, is recognised as a possible mutagen. The Authority considered the additive ethoxyquin as a potent antioxidant in feed but efficacy at the proposed use level, which has been reduced as compared with the currently authorised maximum content in feed, could not be confirmed by the submitted data. The Authority also verified the report on the method of analysis of the feed additive in feed submitted by the Reference Laboratory set up by Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
(5) Consequently, it has not been established that the additive does not have an adverse effect on animal health, human health or the environment when used under the proposed conditions.
dude specifically stated it was his personal experience and only his opinion many times. He didn't want to derail the thread, he didn't even want to talk about it further until people kept asking....and then you chime in.cyberspyder wrote: ↑
In other words, your fear of farmed fish is moreso based on your own personal experience and conjecture. Fear mongering really.
Well, there are some similarities, just like COD players I’m pretty sure these Cod weren’t too happy about spawn camping either.theboschman wrote: ↑ Anyone else expecting Black Ops Call of Duty?
Just me that’s broken? COD... a fish. Who knew?
farmed fish is bad because of all the antibiotics and chemicals used to suppress diseases and other bad stuff as a result of poor water condition unavoidable when you farm fish. Those bad stuff is mostly stored in fish body with fat. In another words, I would not want to eat any fatty farmed fish and black cod is amazingly delicious fish as it is very fatty fishstarscreamX wrote: ↑ I thought only farmed salmon were bad.
