Since we are eating more fish these days I thought everyone might find this info helpful. The latest Natural Health magazine has a good article on fish. AVOID due to high mercury content: swordfish, shark, king mackerel and tilefish. OK once a month: tuna steaks, red snapper, orange roughy and halibut. OK once a week: crab, cod, mahi mahi, canned tuna. The safest fish for everyone is: salmon, shrimp, farm faised channel carfish, rainbow trout, flounder, perch, tilapia, clams, scallops and red crayfish. One study showed some farm raised salmon high in chemicals (PCB's) so wild salmon is preferred. Atlantic cold water salmon!!! Farm raised salmon also has dye injected to make it pink. Interesting! A good web site to check out is www.cfsan.fda.gov artist
