Every single day I cook myself fish. I usually have salmon and fillets to cook and for snacks, I eat tuna and sardines. I take fish oil too.
Is it expensive? And seconding weirdguy, not sure about the mercury but i love that canned stuff too
Many (maybe most, I haven't checked) fish species eaten by humans are predators; salmon and tuna definitely are, although sardines eat only plankton, so they're only one step up from the bottom on the food chain. These days, eating any animal that's a predator is at least a little risky, since predators tend to accumulate pesticide residues and heavy metals in their tissues. Eating fish once or twice a week is not going to be enough to kill you and most likely won't cause any lasting harm, but just like the fish accumulated residues in their bodies, the potential exists that you eating fish all the time will increase the concentrations in your body. It seems to me that far too little is known about the long-term effects on the body of low levels of pesticides to be blasé about this.
All things in moderation is a good rule to live by.
Heck yeah I love fish. I also have a huge addiction to fish especially being addicted to salmon, mackerel, cod, tuna, sardines and eel.
