Jellyfish Swarm, 9×12″ mixed media watercolor, maureencberry.com/art Should you stop eating fish is not the first time I asked this question, and I’m certainly not the only one asking. Originally, I wrote about this topic here after I learned that Sylvia Earle was advocating for a plant-based diet. Since the aquaculture industry has evolved since I wrote that original article, I want to address this old question again. Find out what to consider when deciding whether to stop consuming seafood. Plus, I share a shallow pan-fried catfish recipe with everyone’s favorite: buttermilk ranch dressing. Moderation. Small helpings. Sample a little bit of everything. These are the secrets of happiness and good health. Julia Child Thanks for listening. This podcast is free but not cheap to produce.
