5 Strange Foods of the Future
Joining halibut and tilapia, cobia may be the next big thing in fish-farming, as this fish, also known as the black salmon, grows to be fairly large – up to 78 inches in length and 150 lbs in weight. In Taiwan, cobia are farmed to weigh about 12 pounds in a year; salmon, by contrast, take 3.5 years to grow to a comparable size. Despite ethical concerns regarding overfishing, cobia is widely produced in Southeast Asia and may soon come to America and Europe.
