Closing Notes of Caution
All large fish can contain mercury in their system. Mercury gets absorbed by the fishes skin and therefore accumulates in the body. With that being said, the older the fish, the longer its been accumulating mercury. To be safe we should always follow a simple rule. Everything in moderation keeps us balanced and healthy.
