Answer 1

Does the quality of seafood differ depending on location? In short, yes. Seafood from other countries is not guaranteed to be as regulated as it is in the United States. High antibiotic use in imported, farm raised fish is common. Many international fish farms are not held to high inspection standards that you would see in the United States. Additionally, some overseas seafood sources—both wild-caught and farm-raised—are known to be higher in contaminants.
