Worried about Mercury in Fish?

If you’re concerned about mercury contamination in your fish, you might like to check out the FDA Consumer Report on Mercury in Fish.
There is a chart comparing domestic and imported fish near the bottom of the FDA report that you might find helpful in making decisions about what kind of fish to eat.
The FDA currently sets the acceptable level of mercury in fish at 1 part per million (ppm). Most fish are well below that, but there are a few larger fish (such as shark and swordfish) that may be over or come close to the limit. Pollock, salmon and flounder are great choices, as they have very low levels of mercury.
