Realistic Mercury in Fish Concerns?

Status

My perception is that it matters where the fish is from and what type of fish it is.

For example, when I lived in St. Joseph, MI, males could eat an unlimited amount of salmon but women and children were only supposed to have one serving a week or month or something. And if you were pregnant, then you weren't supposed to have any...

Here is a link to information concerning Lake Michigan Salmon.

And here is a link to a state of Michigan Document in PDF format.

With a moderate diet, like yours, I don't think that I would be too concerned.

Best of luck,
Uno
 
Farm salmon you are fine.
Cod u are fine.

It is certain local areas (like above post) and big Tuna/Yellowtail that might give you problems:
