When we lived in Colorado, we canned at least a hundred pounds per year of Coho Salmon. They're no true salmon, but close enough. I eat salmon 5-8 times or so every week with only good results, smoked, canned, fresh, and home-cured with salt and sugar.
The mercury levels are quite low. Generally, the longer-lived and bottom feeders carry the most mercury.
It's good for you and it tastes so good.
....but Coho salmon are in the salmon family, and bottom feeding fish aren't high in mercury content - pelagic fish, such as tuna and swordfish, are higher in mercury content. Pelagic fish are fish that must swim through the water constantly throughout their entire lives in order to live.

It's a bit more involved. Sardines, I must mention, fit your definition of pelagic fish and are very low in mercury.
I'm concerned that the radiation in Japan is going to reach the ocean, and then the fish will start to look weird, or that it will reach the U.S coast and another situation like the oil disaster will occur. Tsunami warnings are happening on the daily in Japan, again, and it's bound to move the ocean enough to send some of that radiation over here.

I'd draw the line at something like this on the dinner table:
However, as a decorating item, it may have potential..

Maybe that's why my milk glows in the dark. (Just kidding!)
Solution...eat beef from Montana! We also raise salmon in fisheries, plenty safe from radiation from Japan. Pork from Iowa.
Cool. It's good that we still have that option, just in case.

That looks like a crocodile+shark+something else. I know I wouldn't eat that, either.

It's weird how there are croc statues in New York now coming out of the manholes on the street. They look surprisingly real, too. I think they are promoting some kind of movie. It is weird decoration, lol.

Hi, peeps! Life around Austin is going great during my R&R. I just learned, however, that Katz's Deli in Austin closed back in January after 3 decades. That means I'll have to go to another place for lunch tomorrow. Oh, well......
Otherwise, things are fine in my travels. There's been some really good food had already, with much more to come. You'll see some posts with a few of these places, because I just might give you folks some ideas.
Have a nice evening.
