Thinking about switching to a diet primarily consisting of vegetables and salmon. I know there are issues with fish contamination via mercury or other toxin levels. What are the safer options? I plan to avoid tilapia and go mostly easy on canned tuna

do you trust the opinions on here over just searching low mercury fish
Chase Harris
small fish have low enough mercury levels that you should be able to eat them every day without seeing any issues from it. look at the FDA's recommendations or whatever the EU's food safety authority is. if you're really paranoid about it then just eat shellfish
Jayden Brown
Not really but I don't really trust articles you get when searching stuff like this so maybe some user has some sourced info or graphics.
Aiden Turner
Eat only farmed fish eg farmed salmon, it's never been exposed to the ocean and doesn't contain any mercury
Aaron Howard
Eat sardines. They have one of the very lowest mercury concentrations of all fish. I eat two cans minimum every day.
On top of low mercury, every 100 g can has 20 g of protein - and 3 g of omega-3 for unfucking your omega 3 to omega 6 ratio.
Take the /deenzpill/ and ASCEND
Adam Russell
Yeah i already love sardines so I plan to start eating them regularly. Are all cans created equal? My next task is to find the cheapest source if im going to be eating them a lot. I probably want in water vs in oil since I think it's usually onions oil (even the ones labeled olive)
Jason Long
All cans that I've seen seem to be of the same size. The sardines that I buy are €0.35 per can, but I have no idea about pricing in America.
I usually get mine in either water or tomato sauce, but make sure to check the ingredients if you go for the latter as they may well put śóy and other shit into it.
Nathaniel Clark
Asking for a friend, do you guys eat the chicken bones?
Brayden Lopez
That's super cheap. Is it in store? I need to try tomato that sounds delicious.
Carson Ross
I have gotten so sick of chicken I pretty much get grossed out by it now. That said ive eaten a metric ton of it and have never once considered eating a fucking bone lmao. What you can do with them is cook them down into a broth that is really good for you.
Leo Fisher
Sardines, mackerel, salmon, tuna (max once or twice a week), pangasius, bream/dourada/orata/dorade is also really popular here (southern europe) and freaking delicous.
Lucas Martinez
Wat? You do realize that salmon farms are IN the ocean, right? Or did you think the salmons live in a big red barn filled with water? There can be 100 000 salmon in a single enclosure, they get treated with anti-parasite drugs at regular intervals AND suffer bioaccumulation of heavy metals through their feed, which is mainly smaller fish ground into pellets. My toxicology professor refused to eat farmed salmon due to the metal contents in the fish.
Jaxon Mitchell
Not him, sardines are fucking insane cheap where I live. I normally buy the ones in Louisiana hot sauce but I occasional buy the mustard ones
Michael Gomez
Avoid tilapia at all costs unless you know for sure it wasn't raised in a farm

Jason Thompson
Cans here (US) for me at least are barley ever under $1. The norm for cheap deens are probably $0.80(never)-$1.75. Tuna cans can be about the same.
Christian Mitchell
farmed salmon is poison
please dont eat it
actually dont eat any farmed stuff thats supposed to live in the ocean, its all polluted and will decrease your life expectancy
i could go into detail but ive already e xplained it to so many people (and opened a lot of eyes) its tiring i would appreciate if you researched yourself
thank
Joseph Williams
Even if they are that price having two cans is still like 40G of protein and that much protein for 3$ is still really good
Easton Nelson
>Implying the oceans aren't polluted to shit aswell
Thomas Turner
Eat small fish low on the trophic level. Think sardines, anchovies, etc. Also, mollusks like muscles and oysters are based as fuck.
Ryder Allen
the ocean is very big
dont be stubborn and do some research, natural caught fish doesnt have anything unhealthy in it except mercury for specific fish
Connor Ross
Herring. The white man's fish.
Isaiah Martinez
DEENZ. The thinking man's fish.
Jaxon Gomez
I'm a fisherman and eat a shit ton of fish. The best thing to do is eat smaller/younger fish as they dont have as high levels as larger older fish. Also consume a lot of parsley and cilantro. They have compounds that bind to heavy metals and carry them out of your body.
Jason Butler
Thanks I'll be sure not to buy it then
Christian Mitchell
Liam Miller
...kek
Mason Stewart
sardines and shellfish are the best seafood to eat
mussels, oysters and scallops are the cleanest despite being filters of the ocean
Zachary Hill
Atlantic Blackfin Tuna reporting in.
>Eats mostly squid so no worries bout HG
Nicholas Brooks
for someone who has never eaten any fish in his life, where do I start with fishies?
James Richardson
Salmon is great.
Buy wild or something like whole foods farmed, which has pretty decent aquaculture
Liam Williams
What the fuck how
Wyatt Thompson
Only tropical fish. Has nothing to do with contamination but the actual structure of cold water fish (like atlantic salmon).
Asher Collins
Japanese food maybe?
Fresh grilled with lemon is usually what people recommend, or eat tuna pouches idk.
Here in america, people don't eat a whole lot of fish. It's as uncommon as say brussel sprouts. We don't like it so much it's not really considered a meat somehow. It's usually too expensive for most people to consider too, especially if they live inland.
Took me a while to build up the taste. But now I love it.
Colton Martin
Sardines, anything fresh, local, wild caught, farmed tilapia & salmon. Anything fresh water like catfish. Sadly canned tuna is high in mercury/cadmium and unsustainable. Talk to your local fishmonger.
I get a big bag of cheap catfish fillets and throw them in a marinade of lemon, chilli paste, and old bay.
John Rivera
I'm in America too, midwest, but I've never heard of anyone who hasn't at least tried tuna or sunfish or talapia or anything at all.
Xavier Collins
Japanese food emphasizes the raw natural character of fish so I wouldn't recommend it as a first try. For something more approachable proably soups/stews, crab cakes, fried rice, fish & chips, pies etc.
Josiah Ross
Where do you find sunfish in the midwest?
Adam Jones
Lincoln Anderson
I was thinking of the other sunfish.

>being worried about metal instead of the fucking hundreds of parasitic worms that infest every fish
Gabriel Robinson
Not a problem as long as you cook your food.
>he eats raw fish
Luke Moore
FARMED SALMON CONTAINS WAY MORE HEAVY METALS INCLUDING MERCURY THAN FRESH CAUGHT U FUKN MONG
Jayden Peterson
Wild caught from the ocean
Tuna swordfish salmon mackerel
Don't eat canned anything
