Hmm, good question Link. Fish is basically not real safe no matter what as far as I'm concerned. I eat fish maybe once a month at the most, usually not that much.
Mercury is bad enough, even just tiny amounts, because some people have genetic flaws that result in accumulation rather than excretion. We don't know..."are you one of those people?" So I just play it safe.
Same with other stuff too though. I stick almost exclusively to organic anything, gluten free, and non-gmo corn. The levels of toxins and unintended consequences in our common foods is plenty bad enough as far as I am concerned, and then add in fish mercury and fish nuclear waste, ouch.
