We no longer live in a healthy, pristine, unpolluted environment; pesticides, heavy metals, chemicals, and other toxic compounds frequently make their way into our food chain. No one knows precisely how low-level exposure to these toxins affects health over the course of a lifetime. It is prudent to try to reduce our exposure to toxic compounds whenever possible, but it is virtually impossible to eliminate exposure to environmental toxins because they now permeate even such places as the Antartic. Fish can frequently contain high concentrations of mercury and pesticides. To minimize your risk of eating contaminated fish, avoid eating freshwater fish from lakes and rivers, particularly the Great Lakes and other industrialized areas. Also, avoid large, long-lived fish such a swordfish, tuna and shark because they tend to concentrate mercury in their flesh.
Desirable commercially available fish include salmon, halibut, herring, trout, catfish, bass, mackeral, cod, scrod, northern pike, sunfish, haddock, grouper, walleye, flatfish, red snapper, monkfish, rockfish, perch tilapia, striped bass, turbot, mullet, bluefish, drum, eel, and orange roughy.
