Bay fish- Safe to eat?

EricB, very good point.  I didnt even think of that.  So true.  How many Taco's to consume in a month?  I'm going to go with 0, but we all know how that goes.  Good point you made there buddy.  Still, I think I will let the sturgeon swim free.  Now I'm suddenly reminded of the Turbaconepic post from a couple months back, Mmmmmm.

ah, Jack in the Box tacos are next level stuff!!! That meat is beyond recognition, had a few of those when I was younger too, not no more.

Oh gee thanks Eric for making my illogical reply even more lame! I agree fast food is hell on a bun. And think of all the tuna I eat as sushi talk about apex preditaor with heavy mrecury. Screwed either way.

I wrestle with this issue all the time myself. The funny thing is that we have all been conditioned to not even qeustion the food we buy in the store. Sure many people try to get organic or sustainably harvested stuff as much as possible but most people do not think much about where their seafood came from.

The real irony to me is that the highest end seafood restaraunts in our area that specialize in localy caught sustainably harvested fish are serving that very same halibut to their customers. 

If you offered those same people a nice fillet of your fresh bay caught halibut they would likely turn up their noses in disgust. 

I do wish there was better info available about the murcury content on our local fish both inside and out of the bay. Does anyone know what the mercury levels are for your average rockfish?
