Looking for more affordable seafood? You have to try the 'fish equivalent of chicken thighs' - ABC Everyday

Branching out and trying new foods can be a daunting experience, especially when it comes to seafood. But going bolder at the fish shop can mean extra cash in the pocket without sacrificing taste. Captain Darwin Grant Barker says most Australians eat only a fraction of the more than 5,000 species of fish in our waters, with many of the lesser-known varieties of seafood little secret. “Bream and Robinson pearls come to mind. They may be some of the best dinner table fish in the country, but most people don’t realize it. People in the industry … but the general public doesn’t know it,” Grant said. He said there was a generational reluctance to venture away from safe classics like salmon, barramundi and snapper, which meant shoppers were choosing from small schools of fish, pushing demand and prices up. Load Fish species worth trying Seafood producer and former chef Umar Nguyen said the list below comprises some of the best but underutilized fish species available. He says everything is

The equivalent of 1,800 tonnes of TNT: what we now know about the meteor that lit up the daytime sky over New Zealand

Meteorites hit New Zealand three or four times a year, but the fireballs that shot through the skies over the Cook Strait last week were unusual. It had an explosive power of 1,800 tons of TNT and was captured from space by US satellites. This triggered a sonic boom that was heard throughout the southern part of the North Island. Witnesses described a “giant bright orange fireball” and flashes that left “a trail of smoke that hung for several minutes”. The fireball was most likely caused by a small meteor, several meters in diameter, that crossed Earth’s atmosphere. That is one of only five impacts greater than a thousand tonnes of energy globally in the past year. Most meteors are small, creating “shooting stars” that only briefly penetrate the atmosphere. The meteor’s fragmentation generated a shockwave strong enough to be picked up by GeoNet, a network of earthquake seismometers, with flashes bright enough to be recorded by global lightning-tracking satellites.

Walk It Off: Exercise Therapy for Meniscal Tears Equivalent To Surgery

Exercise-based physical therapy remains in no way inferior to arthroscopic partial meniscectomy for treating degenerative meniscal tears, according to long-term data from the ESCAPE trial, suggesting physical therapy to be the preferred treatment over surgery. At the 5-year mark, the patient’s reported knee function after 16 sessions of physical therapy was not lower than that observed after surgery, with a between-group difference of 3.5 points on the International Knee Documentation Committee Subjective Form 100 points (95% CI 0.7-6). ,3, P <0.001 for noninferiority) in the intention-to-treat analysis, according to movement scientist Julia Noorduyn, MSc, of OLVG Amsterdam, The Netherlands, and colleagues. For the surgery and exercise therapy groups, respectively, the mean improvement from baseline was 29.6 and 25.1 points at 5 years. The progression of knee osteoarthritis, assessed radiographically, was equally low between the two groups, Noorduyn’s team reported in JAMA Network
