<li> | <li>🐟 <u>Favor small fishes</u><br> (such as anchovies or sardines) which are much less costing to the environment in terms of processing but also in terms of stocks.</li> | ||
<li> | <li>🐚 <u>Favor shellfish</u><br> (Mollusks such as clams, oysters, mussels, etc…). Other than being cheap and delicious, shellfish helps to filter water and absorb CO2 in the atmosphere. Eating primarily plankton, mollusks sit at the bottom of the food chain, which means that they do not disturb predators nor any endangered species.</li> | ||
<li>💰 <u>Remember that the price is only dependant on trends</u>.<br> A cheaper fish doesn't mean that its meat will be less succulent than another. In 2008, Cod was considered a rather dull fish and its price was 5 to 7 times cheaper than Salmon. With the rise of the consumption and value of Salmon, Cod became the new cheap alternative fish. In 12 years, its price as been multiplicated by 4, averaging today the same price as Salmon.</li> | |||
