What's Really In Your Frozen Fish?

I haven't bought wild caught frozen fish for a while, because I kept
having issues with it. On two separate occasions (from two different

stores) I bought fish that was supposed to be good according to the

best by dates, but they both smelled like ammonia.

I decided to try wild caught fish again, and it would've been nice to

find some caught in America, but no such luck. This fish was all the

way from China, so I told myself, "OK it's from China...at least I'm

gonna be eating something healthy." When I got home, I noticed

that each piece of fish had 520 mg of sodium! That's a lot of salt.

This fish was full of sodium tripolyphosphate. According to 

merriam-webster.com, sodium tripolyphosphate is used as a

food additive, and as a component in some detergents, and 

suspected of contributing to water pollution. 

On accessdata.fda.gov, they say sodium tripolyphosphate is

GRAS (generally recognized as safe). This substance is

generally recognized as safe when used in accordance with

good manufacturing practice.

It's a shame you have to read the entire food package to 

find out if the healthy food you bought really is healthy.
