Re: Seafood

Boiling alive is horrible, bu really not the only way to kill a lobster. A more humane way (I use that loosely) is to pop it in the freezer for a couple of hours to send it into a hyperthermic sleep, this doesn't hurt it,just like humans who get hypothermia-your not aware of it because your so cold. Then take it out of the freezer and jab a knife into the back of the neck where the head meets the first link. Go hard an deep, this kills it dead, and the poor thing isn't aware of it because its already in a coma. This is the preferred method in the UK and is recommended by Gordon Ramsey.

And just to mention that I am not vegetarian but my mother and sister are.

As for dolphin friendly tuna-it's caught in the sea as Tuna is way hard to farm (they are ENORMOUS!) but instead of a net are caught using a fishing line, like your grandpa does does by the lake then fished out by a big net-it's a little more intensive (lot of hooks on one big line) but its the same principle, then although they may catch other fish there no dolphins caught that way (they don't feed like that). It's harder to catch like this which is why it can be more expensive.
