Consumption Advisory

Do any of you guy that consume more meals than than advised,worry about eating polluted fish w/cancer causing chemicals in them? I see post where guys eat 250-400 eyes a year from Erie,and Shenego 2500(crappie) wonder if they have any concerns feeding them to ther family? I'm not a wise guy, just want to know.If store bought food had and adivsory,would you buy it and feed it to your childeren? I know almost everythings got something bad in it,but if you know it would you eat it?

i understand when they do the test for consumption advisory that the whole fish is ground up  and tested but if you skin and fillet your catch you are well within the guide lines i hope this is true
 

Been eating fish from shenango lake all my life. I'm 56 now. All my family and friends eat them, that i catch,and fillet too. Can't say i lost any to mercury poisoning and none that i can think of has died from cancers. Maybe we're just lucky. All 5 daughters are healthy and all 4 of the grandsons are too. Been cooking them fish since they were born and able to eat it. Still no problems. Every one is healthy. No birth defects, rashes, or anything growing from their necks.  Really, we dont eat fish 2 or 3 times a week tho. 2500 crappies in a season will go a long way, even feeding a family and group of church friends and club members. Hope i dont have people glowing in the dark from MERCURY poisoning.

So what your all saying is that the skin,guts,belly meat has all the bad stuff,but the fillets are toxic free,I hope you take all that nice tasty red meat of your eyes .I kept 13 huge crappies from Shenango this winter and they had more red meat on them than any crappies I've ever cleaned,their still in the freezer,and I know I'll give them away.So basiclly the normones(or any other toxic that are injested) that shot in cattle,just stays in the fat,bone and hide,and the meats mormone free.If you believe your fish are toxic free their not thats impossible.If someone could tell me where they do this study I will,personally sent them,skinless eye fillets from Erie,and Crappies from the most polluted lake there is Shenago.

Any study can be manipulated to show the results wanted.
Whole fish in a blender for showing high contamination.
Fillets for low contamination.

I would think the average of both ways would be about right.

"If store bought food had and adivsory,would you buy it and feed it to your childeren?"
 
Do some reading. Most store bought fish, and many other foods DO have similar advisories. Mt Dew, and Happy Meals are doing more damage to kids than all the Perch, Walleye, and Crappie consumed in America ever will.

you guys are wroung i been eating fish for 40 years .yes there places i won't eat fish .i eat all the egges of fish but catfish there bad . all pan fish egges are good . if you like sea food i can make egges to your taste yummy. send me e mail i tell you how to cook them egges there good

Ive been eating pounds of walleye and crappie for yrs, and i have no problems.  I think it depends where u get them id rather eat fish then steak.    If u buy frozen fish u need to look at where the fish was taken.  China or over seas ill never eat.  If caught in alaska  or canada  ill eat it.
