[QUOTE="phoenix, post: 172975, member: 12578"] When I first came across Panga (the name for river cobbler in French) I looked it up , initially just to find out what it was and how to cook it. I soon came across mountains of vitriol and followed a tangled trail. In France the criticims stemmed from a French TV programme which said that the fish was farmed in polluted waters, frozen in polluted water, was unsustainable, exploited the workers (boss in mansion, workers in shacks) and to top it all the females were injected with the urine of pregnant Chinese women! [url=http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xo87j_quest-ce-quun-panga_sustainable_dev]http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xo87j_ ... inable_dev[/url] (in French) There have been similar reports in the US However I also came across this article which was more balanced [url=http://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/12/magazine/12catfish-t.html?_r=1&n=Top/Reference/Times%20Topics/Subjects/S/Seafood&pagewanted=all]http://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/12/magaz ... wanted=all[/url] This commenting on the French programme [url=http://www.monstersandcritics.com/news/europe/news/article_1406190.php/Vietnam_catfish_farmers_angered_by_French_reports]http://www.monstersandcritics.com/news/ ... ch_reports[/url] and this one containing the industries answer. (including what the fish were injected with ie hCG which is also used farming other fish including sea bass and bream and is injected into humans as a fertility treatment) In French so use google translate [url=http://aquatrop.cirad.fr/encyclopedie/especes_d_interet_aquacole/pangasius/pangasius_hypophthalmus]http://aquatrop.cirad.fr/encyclopedie/e ... ophthalmus[/url] After all that, i'm still not sure about the sustainability and it certainly goes against my ideas of buying locally and seasonably .
