Fish and Tips

Advice to Help Consumers Navigate Choppy Seafood Waters

This winter has been a grim one for seafood gourmands. We knew mercury buildup in fish posed a health threat to pregnant women and children, but then we found out that concentrations of mercury in fetal blood may be nearly twice as high as in a mother's blood. We also heard that tuna is on the list of highly mercury-tainted fish. And scientists told us that Great Lakes fish contain pesticides up the wazoo. With so many dangers and reports to keep straight, what's a fish-stick-loving consumer to do? Our latest Earthly Possessions column is here to help, with a user-friendly list of fish to eat, fish to avoid, and everything in between -- only on the Grist Magazine website.
