The top of the food chain has higher levels of heavy metals.
Eat in moderation , an occasional tuna steak is OK , just don't live on a tuna diet!

Interesting! We eat a lot of fish, so this gives good information. We do a lot of grouper, snapper, and salmon.

Here is an excellent site if you are interested in finding the "right" fish and avoiding the "bad" ones...

Another one that should be on that list is Talapia IF you have any kind of health issue where you need to avoid inflammation such as: heart condition, high blood pressure, arthritis/joint discomfort.

Talapia is very high in Omega 6 which causes inflammation.

Well I don't eat a lot of fish. I guess it is all in moderation. I love Chilean Sea Bass and will not avoid that fish!

we eat a lot of fish because we grew up in Houston and on the Gulf coast
both my family & Debbie's had beach houses
we grew up fishing for trout, reds, & flounder in the bays and in the surf
crabbing, flounder gigging, etc..
and our seafood markets have fresh Gulf shrimp and oysters

the #1 seafood dish on the Texas coast is baked, stuffed whole flounder stuffed with lump crab meat :)

it's all on where you grow up
BINGO! YES!  and  not talking about Red L@bster either :)

Thanks for the info.
Nothing beats being knowledgeable, especially on health issues.

I prefer a belly full of Lake Michigan perch.
But they, I'm sure, are becoming more contaminated as time goes on.

Salmon, halibut, lingcod, albacore for me. Along with the occasional cutty or rainbow trout.
