The PCB levels in these fish are a non issue.

The mercury levels in all wild ocean fish are a huge concern.

Two servings of wild ocean fish a week is enough to set off a mercury reaction in most people.

Fish in the Eastern half of the US, particularly the easternmost states are all carrying mercury levels that are dangerous to anyone. In North Carolina residents are urged not to eat more than one meal a week of freshwater bass.

The mercury contamination comes from years of Coal Burning dumping mercury into the atmosphere which is then rained into the lakes and rivers.
