Description

Anyone that says that they dont like to eat fish have probably only ever eaten tilapia, which is the worst fish ever according to Erica Wides on this weeks episode of Lets Get Real. Despite tilapia being incredibly bland and tasteless, it is one of the most popular kinds of fish and is available on almost every menu at every restaurant. Scombroid fish, the fast moving, dark meat fish like Tuna and Swordfish which taste better are being over-fished and also have dangerous levels of mercury, so restaurants are trying to find different fish to serve. Erica discusses some alternatives to these classic fish choices, such as bluefish or mackerel which are not only safer to eat, but way more delicious than a disgraceful broiled tilapia. The cleanup efforts have definitely paid off because there are fish species that are returning that we havent seen in years. [11:00] Tilapia is a fish for non-food people. People who dont understand food eat Tilapia. [25:00] Its not about me, its about the fish. The poor, over-fished fish. [26:00] --Erica Wides on Lets Get Real

On Let’s Get Real Chef Erica Wides walks you down the aisles of the surreal world of food, serving up a heaping dose of reality by separating the food from the foodiness so you can forage, hunt, gather, trap and fish for real food anywhere, even in a foodiness-filled mega market. Incisive, pragmatic, sarcastic, and an unrepentant know-it-all when it comes to anything food, on Let’s Get Real Chef Erica Wides does the job for you of sifting out everything that’s fake in the world of food – from “foodiness” marketing and cooking show shams to “health-halo green-washing” and annoying whole-food righteousness – so you never unknowingly chow down on carpeting again.
