The older the fish, the more mercury.

Salmon is usually not a problem because they do not live all that long. Cod is only has slightly more mercury.

Bigeye tuna and swordfish are the worse as far as I know but I could be wrong.

Thank you very much.

I was quite wrong about salmon. Now looked it up and 3 servings a week are safe and more can be tolerate without problems.

I was misinformed. Thank goodness for FR and you.

How about catfish? I recently came upon in in New Orleans. Yum but the heck with it it if it has poisonous stuff in it.
