Canada backs off seafood tariffs after industry pushback

Canada has rolled back planned 25% tariffs on U.S. seafood, removing seafood and fish sector products from its tariff list after industry concerns about vulnerability. Ottawa says it will offer relief to tariff-exposed sectors through remission payments and enhanced income support for affected workers, highlighting a cross-border seafood trade worth more than $5 billion and Maine lobster often processed in Canada. Officials pledged further stakeholder consultation as U.S. tariff tensions and the possibility of counter-tariffs remain a backdrop.

Florida battles deadly coastal bacteria tied to shellfish and warm waters

Florida health officials report 1 death and 12 Vibrio vulnificus infections along the coast, with eight of the cases in Bay, Hillsborough, Lee, Marion, Okaloosa, Polk and St. Johns counties. The bacteria thrive in warm coastal waters and can infect people through contaminated seafood or open wounds; infections are rare but can be life‑threatening and may require aggressive surgeries or amputations. Last year Florida reported 5 deaths and 33 infections related to Vibrio vulnificus, and in 2024 there were 82 infections and 19 deaths. Officials warn to avoid contact between open wounds and warm seawater and to cook shellfish thoroughly.

Tariffs, quotas and El Niño push seafood prices higher

Seafood prices are rising globally due to tariffs, higher fuel costs, and tight supply, with about 80% of seafood imported and haddock quotas cut in Iceland and Canada; EU moves to restrict Russian fish and El Niño-driven disruptions could tighten supply further. Premium items like king crab and lobster remain near record highs, while shrimp prices have eased somewhat after tariff rulings. The result is higher costs for diners and restaurants even as dietary guidelines push for more seafood.

7 Easy Heart-Healthy Swaps That Taste Great

Cardiologist Dr. Evan Shlofmitz shares seven simple, tasty swaps to boost heart health: swap fried potato chips for plantain chips (more fiber, less processing); flavor coffee with cinnamon to cut added sugar and cream; use seasoned olive oil to reduce saturated fat and sodium; replace high-sodium flavorings with miso paste; opt for all-natural frozen fruit pops instead of ice cream; choose heart-healthy fish like rainbow trout (or other fish) instead of red/processed meats; and prefer 100% whole-grain or sprouted bread for fiber and satiety.
