we do not allow fish at our house that come from any waters deemed to be under any sort of consumption advisory and it goes further than that as well .
If the fish are not from lakes way far away from the metropolitan areas and we are sure about the run off area into those lakes , only then can I bring them home for us to consume them .
my wife is really freaked out about the local fish and what might be in them .
according to the fisheries folks locally , some of the worst fish are in the rivers due to the street run off and the lower amount of waters in the river to dilute said run off to a ppm that is acceptable ....
but it is one of those things , so many folks are clueless about what is actually in the water as well . mercury might or might not be the one to worry about .....and water testing is done looking for certain known dangerous contaminants , it is highly unlikely tire shine and lawn chemicals and the etc etc etc coming from populated areas are actually in the test range ....
just saying

I would have to take up Golf, all our waters has something. You know New Orleans was the Cancer capitol for years, I don't know if it still is.

about never , she is rather cautious about food stuffs

Theres a lot of food i would eat before a fish from a warned body of water. I enjoy fish from clean waters, but why even take the chance with heavy metals and contaminates that never leave your body?? Over a crappie or bream fillet youll enjoy for 5 minutes.

I'd wait until after next January. Those regulations and advisories will probably disappear.

That's the truth. As a young kid, we toured a meat packing plant on a school field trip. Major supplier we all know. Saw how everything was made. Unbelievable. Hot dogs, sausage, bologna, etc. Nasty as all get out - to this day I'll always renumber that and won't touch it. You folks have no idea. Grind my own sausage.
