grow and put up as much of my own food as possible.
instead of buying fish from thousands of miles away
i'm eating more from foods grown a few feet away.

Depending on local laws (they are verboten as possible invasives if they
escaped in some places) you might look at tilapia. They do well in
small-ish container aquaculture systems, breed like rabbits (the
invasive if escaped argument is not void - don't let them escape) are
omnivorous and grow fast. Or check with your ag extension people to see
what they suggest and/or what's legal in your state. Hybrid
aquaculture/hydoponic arrangements seem to work as well.

Be sure to eat one before you commit to raising any, but fairly decent
flavor (to most people who eat fish) is part of their appeal.

Trout are fine if you have the conditions, but few people do, and
providing them with happy circumstances artificially is expensive.
