Do not eat Cat fish/Dory fish/Pangasius/Vietnamese River Cobbler

[Ai li]

HI,

A friend of mine just forwarded this me and I'd like to share this.

Don’t Eat this fish: Pangas (Pangasius, Vietnamese River Cobbler, White Catfish, Gray Sole) | Diet Mind Spirit

Why You Shouldn’t Eat Pangas (fish) in France or Anywhere Else for That Matter Why Travel To France

I am wonder how true it is. I just fed my 7 months old daughter for consecutively for 5 days last month (10 meals, lunch & dinner).

A friend, who is a cooker in France, already warned us a few years ago when Pangasius started to become famous, that we better avoid it. The problem is that you can find it everywhere now, for so cheap !

These types of fish are all bottom feeders. They are essentially the garbage disposals of the rivers and oceans. I used to fish for catfish with my dad for fun but no one we knew actually ate those fish--and where we fished for them wasn't polluted at all--still, they were considered "dirty" fish--besides, most of the time they taste a bit like dirt and grime.
