Warning: Eating Fish May Be Dangerous To Your Health

By

Many fish come with a noxious serving of mercury, PCBs, or antibiotics. You probably are aware of the mercury problem in tuna, but are you also aware that pole- or troll-caught albacore from the waters of northern U.S. or British Columbia is much safer? Troll-caught albacore tuna is usually 20 pounds or under, resulting in greatly reduced mercury and contaminants. And happily, it’s this white albacore that is most often canned.
