Fatty acid deficiency is a serious nutrition concern for many folks, and fish is the leading source for this kind of fat. Salmon is high in Omega 3 fatty acids, and EPA, and DHA., than any other food. Unfortunately, it has become one of the most dangerous foods to eat due to its high toxcity load and mercury load. Our oceans and waters have become a sea of scum and pollution, and all the wild life absorb it into their bodies. When we eat the fish we eat their poisons. We all know too well what happens when their are mercury overloads. You have heard of the Mad Hatter syndrome?  The mercury comes from the manufactoring plants whose smoke gets into the atmosphere (that contains mercury) then it rains pouring the toxins into our oceans. It's just like the toxic garbage island in the pacific ocean,all the plastic from land finds itself into the oceans too.

So here me on this: try and avoid all fish from any source unless it can claim to be 100% free of any toxins and poisons, and mercury!. There are very few places left on Earth that harvest their fish from pristine waters.

Although Health Canada claims they have strict standards, and that the long term health benefits of salmon outweigh the small amounts of mercury you find in it. Yeah, like we are going to believe that.

BUT I have found one source that sells wild salmon and seafood, that is completely mercury free, 100% percent. They can ship in the US and to Canada.

This is company is called "Vital Choice".  What they have done is capture the salmon in a pristine lake before they migrate into the polluted seas, and work with native Alaskan Tribes to make sure it is harvestable and clean. You can get 24 fillets (6oz) for $215, which is very affordable even for salmon. The shipping is free for orders above $99, you just have to pay a surcharge. They have all kinds of other seafood, like halibut, tuna, king slamon, shellfish etc.  They have excellent customer service, and if you eat fish I would recommend ordering it from them. Not only that most of the time you can get free products if your order is above $150, like other fresh fish, berries, and many things they sell. OR type "vital bonus" in their seach bar to find what you can get for free when you order. For example, I am going to buy 24 fillets of sock eyed salmon, I WILL get for free one of the below options.
1.) 3   1lb bags frozen blackberries
2.) 3   4 0z bags of salmon LOX
3.) 6   6 oz of wild alaskan silver (coho) salmon
4.) 1   2lb bag salad shrimp

The specials change every week, so it's fun, but the best deal now is the LOX or the blackberries.

Eating fresh fish and vegies is a diet that many athletes eat and body builders, to keep the fat off and the body lean. What you do is switch to a diet that is mainly vegetables and fish, and eliminate heavy starches. Then you switch to a sugar source that is from fruit. Fish is high in protein without the heavy feeling, that eating meat brings. It's a great way to reduce the waist line!
