It's no secret that when it comes to healthy choices, fish sits near the top of the list. Packed with low-fat protein, low in saturated fat, and often rich in omega-3s, fish is the dish for those who care about their health. But eating fish means catching fish, and therein lies the problem: overfishing. Are we doing a disservice to the environment by putting fish on our dinner plate?

No Impact Man had a post about this recently, and he has some informative links on the subject. Though overfishing was a serious problem before omega-3s became the heart-health superstar (some predict collapse of species caught for food by 2048), some experts believe the new push to add more fish to our diets could further deplete the oceans' stocks.

There is a middle ground, you just have to commit to eating certain species of fish. For instance, the Alaskan fisheries are very well managed, say experts, so wild caught Alaskan salmon is a sustainably caught fish (and happens to be chock full of those healthy fats). Here's a complete list of best choices and species to avoid from Monterey Bay Aquarium.
