Dan Barber Investigated the following. He tasted a fish he thought was quite delicious. After going to the fish farm that supplied the fish, he investigated, where they fed the fish with chicken, after that "the fish tasted like chicken to me." He then came across and even more delicious fish, which he traced to Spain, where the Veta la Palma had a giant fish farm. The way they raised the fish is basically that they didn’t raise the fish. they let nature take its course. In the 1950s it was a rice field, when the new owners took over, they flooded the area with the local river water. This later on, the river was full of toxins from upstream. This fish farm is amazing in 3 great ways, not only does it produce delicious fish, it also has water so biologically diverse, it reversed the effects of the waste in the river. What also is amazing is, that this fish farm measure it’s success by the color of the predators in its environment. Flamingos fly 10 miles to the sanctuary every day, just to take advantage of the fish. The healthier the fish, the brighter the pink is on the flamingo’s belly.
I personally think that this is pretty cool, that in a fish farm they end up letting the fish live the way they would elsewere, instead of being cooped up in a small hatchery.
