In a given week or month, I always look forward to the canned seafood day. Not only does it route me to a transpacific trance (no pun intended) to my beloved tropical islands, but also break the monotony of the North American meat diet, ugh, watch those arteries. Growing up in one of the 7,107 islands mean lots, tons, heaps, loads and oodles of fresh seafood daily! Not to mention our youthful appearance, thank you.
My hubby and I would usually enjoy a spectrum of exotic flavors with this fine, global selection perfectly paired with steamy garlic fried rice. Our usual favorites include:
Icelandic Cod Liver in own oil (The ultimate! Tastes luxurious, very smooth and rich.)
Octopus in pickled sauce from Spain
Stuffed Squid in ink sauce from Spain
Fillets of Anchovies in Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Argentina
Below is the Consumer Guide to Mercury in Fish from the NRDC:

It's getting harder to live a healthy life in this current world with all these restrictions, I wonder how the babies nowadays will cope up in the toxic, dog-eat-dog understatement future. They always say "it's always never too late", but why do we have to wait this long to undo the damage that can't be undone. Poor cuties.
