I did a lot of research about fish consumption, and the DNR (Department of Natural Resources) has a lot of information on it. Last year was my first year ever with a fishing license, so I wanted to make sure that I was knowledgeable. Had to go through my bookmarks, but this is the site (dnr.wi.gov) on fish consumption in Wisconsin. We had determined our catch to be good to eat. This pdf document also helped us reduce our contaminant intake, however this particular information is probably not credible in your area.

I appreciate your concern! I practice safe fish eating habbits, and don't consume more fish than what is recommended by the Wisconsin DNR.

Speaking from the experience of someone having mercury poisoning for over 30 years, I promise you that you don't want any of that in your body. I grew up eating the MN freshwater fish, and also got a majority of my mercury from amalgam fillings (50% silver/50%mercury). Just sharing the knowledge and there are many things you can easily incorporate into your life that will help if you continue to consume fish (or have fillings). Most of it is on the GOE site! https://www.intothegardenofeden.com/high-vibe-health/category/mercury
Also a much better source of information than most!

I am sorry to hear that you have mercury poisoning! I will definitely do more to prevent that, and I while I was aware, I don't plan on eating a lot of fish.

The older and bigger ones you don't want to eat either. We've caught some pretty bad looking fish and threw it back in.

yes ocean fish is more dangerous for mercury than fresh water fish but often water in urban or developed areas is pretty dangerous too.
As long as you are being aware and making sure its good quality then fish can be very healthy.
Its a shame almost all water sources are contaminated these days. Humans destroying the earth more and more every day.

Where I am at it is not very developed. It is indeed a shame how much damage we've done. Especially not too long ago with the massive contamination that took place in Colorado. made me sad for sure.
