  1. "What about the canned Red sockeye Alaskan salmon? Seems the
    reports on that are still good."

    Canned fish is first baked on a grill that allows most of the
    lipids, including omega-3's, to drain away. Once canned, it is
    then pressure cooked at high temperature to sterilize it, which
    has a very good chance of oxidizing the unsaturated lipids that
    remain. Mercury and pollutants are low in any Alaskan fish, but
    nutrients are significantly reduced by the canning process.
    Freezing changes texture, but nutritionally is much less damaging
    than canning.

    I pretty well stick to frozen Alaska pink salmon for my meat.
    Ecologically sustainable as well as being as low in pollutants
    as just about any fish on the planet.
