The bigger the fish, the more the toxins, and it doesn't relate to freshwater fish either. Saltwater fish have the same issues. Mercury is a naturally occurring element. It's not humans dumping it into the environment. Once it enters the fish's body, it never goes away but accumulates. When it comes to me keeping fish, I don't keep the real big ones, just release them and keep the younger, smaller fish that can sometimes still be pretty big.For a normal healthy human, fish can be a healthy meal. (if not fried). I kind of like my tuna raw.</blockquote>
