The Cleanest Fish on the Planet

All fish contain some pollutants, including mercury, which is why we recommend you eat no more than 12 ounces of fish a week. According to U.S. Environmental Protection Agency tests, the following fish have the lowest levels of mercury:
– Shrimp
– Pollock
– Catfish
– Canned Tongol tuna
– Wild salmon (Farmed salmon are also relatively low in mercury, but they are dosed with antibiotics and consume feed containing a pigment that is a suspected carcinogen. This feed is also rich in the remains of fatty fish such as sardines and, as a result, tends to contain contaminants like PCBs and dioxin.)
