I love salmon and eat it regularly but almost always in restaurants. I eat it partly to cut down on my beef intake. One every two months is about normal for me but that's because of cost, not health concerns. I smother mine in lemon juice before eating. I never ask them where the fish came from and doubt some of them would know themselves.

I am somewhat suspicious of these types of "alarm" studies. Of course, I'm never going to be pregnant and if I get anything else it's my own fault. But nobody's going to talk me out of eating fish, shrimp, oysters and gumbo. They can try until they're blue in the face. It won't work.

No more than a month ago I heard a news report that said we should eat only farm raised salmon because the wild salmon contained high amounts of mercury. Screw it, I'll eat whatever I feel like eating...

Oh, boy, a new study that says we shouldn't be eating something that's healthy, delicious, and relatively inexpensive. Good thing these studies are always totally valid, and are never retracted after a few months with the retraction being printed at the bottom of page D35 of the New York Times.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm.......however, you may pay more to get your fish, shrimp, oysters and gumbo.

I have some simple questions.
What are the contaminants?
How bad are they?
How do contaminants get into the fish?
What are the contaminant levels between the fish?
Does Pew support farmed fishing?

The best farmed fish is in Chile and you get this report.
