Should we take mackerel and then should we take smoking?

This is my research area back on the science plant-based nutrition book.

Sadly, as of recently, we know now mackerel is actually no longer a sustainable fish.

In fact, we've mentioned this several times on the podcast.

No longer stocked at Waitrose.

And we imagine other supermarkets will follow suit because of the cost, the price and the quality of the fish decline.

So when it comes to amigas, your choices are just narrowed.

This happened eight or nine years ago with tuna, when tuna no longer became a source of omega-3s.

Tuna steak used to be considered a source of omega-3.

But then, of course, being a very large fish, I think most people don't know that.

When you see fish portioned out in a can, it's very hard to visualize the size of that fish before it's been portioned into individual cans.

Very large in mercury levels, all sorts of things.

But first of all, macro isn't sustainable.

So I just want to throw that out there.

In fact, you're better off going for other fish today, but they don't contain omega-3.

So we do have a bit of an omega-3 crisis, I would actually say now in...

the UK.

So Rhi, what are the most sustainable fish options?

It doesn't exist if I'm being perfectly honest.
