But I think the pork chops are just the go to here in the future. Still need to try a steak, but the options are top sirloin and an 8oz ribeye...just feel like I'm asking for disappointment there and I like cooking my own steaks 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the only seafood higher are whales and dolphins, which no one should ever eat anyway. Don't fuck around with mercury poisoning. When the symptoms finally show decades down the line, you'll regret it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the US, everything is heavily regulated, but a lot of swordfish comes from Mexico, where regulations aren't quite as good. It's especially true for fish that's imported into the middle of the country. You have a better shot of getting safer and responsibly caught fish on the coasts where you have a more direct line to local fisherman. 6 minutes ago, Insipid said: Swordfish has a very high level of mercury.

When the symptoms finally show decades down the line, you'll regret it. Indeed. The key is that all three you mentioned are higher up the food chain. For similar reasons larger members of the tuna family (Pacific Blue or Yellowtail, for instance) have a higher risk of heavy metal because the primarily consume smaller fish and crustaceons that might be exposed to it though coastal toxic waste dumps or territorial water effluence. It's become less of an issue as first world nations have been taking a concerted effort to clean up their discharge and make improvements in stormwater mitigation. Still, in general, it's best to avoid the predator fish from pelagic waters unless you live close to the ocean. As an aside, Halibut is also a high level predator fish. However, it comes from colder waters, meaning its mostly harvested form areas where there is less toxic effluence. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no clue on sustainability but growing up in the coast, we always ate seafood and unless you are literally eating high level mercury fish daily, for several meals, the body flushes it. The key is not foolishly thinking an all fish diet is a good idea. It was an entire thing in 4H club. No filet from a restaurant is going to be the reason I get mercury poisoning so I just took it as Scoob's usual dump of unimportant information. If I didn't get it growing up, I'm not going to suddenly get it now. As soon as the word sustainability comes up in reference to seafood, I have a nabsback and just kinda move along.
