Best source of mercury free fish

Live healthy and long

Fish can be source of  Omega 3 fatty acids and DHA.  However, some bigger fish can contain mercury that can be toxic.  After being fed for 58 days, mice fed with fish contaminated with mercury exhibited bizarre behavior.

The wild salmon is better than farmed salmon.  However farmed salmon crowded out the wild Alaskan type salmon (in some NY restaurants, pla2 is being claimed as salmon)  Other best bet are anchovies, sardines, and herring.  Avoid eating fish that are large (high in food chain) for they may be mercury intoxicated.

Featured in this link is the interview of Dr. Mercola with Randy Hartnell, a commercial salmon farmer turned wild salmon fisherman.

Choose your fish diet wisely (and still minimize mercury intake)
