    Remember years of king salmon fishing lake Ontario and seeing the 70 and 80 year old gentlemen waiting to see if any of the guys would give them fish after photos were taken, makes me wonder about all the consumption danger.

    Moderation, moderation is the key too much of anything is bad!! well almost everything. Thats a nice report mikastorm. There isn't a fish that swims that isn't contaminate free!!! I can only imagine the stuff were buying now from Vietnam, cambodia, and Bangaledesh. I bet those fish farms are nice clean and inspected by there health depts ya think....
    The gentleman who introduced me to fishing used to take me down the ohio river behind the water works in coraopolis.sewage there alot he would keep catfish and carp and would take them home to eat alot!!!! that man lived to be 92 and his wife is still alive!!!!!!!! You have to eat fish every day for years and years!!!! Moderation is the key!!!!\\
