They say bigger fish have higher mercury, is that because they lived longer and the heavy metals build up over time?
That's what I was always told. I heard never eat nothing bigger than your dinner plate and I have many times I won't lye. I love fresh caught fish unless it's got some weird ass growths or worms or anything. Gotta check em close these days.

its also because larger fish live in deeper water..

"That means that about 60 and 80 percent of the mercury that ends up in humans is formed in the oxygen-poor, deep water, home to the bacteria that underpin the long-food chain.
“Organic mercury in the well lit upper ocean appears to be destroyed by photochemical degradation faster than it is produced by microbes,” says Popp. “Our work shows that a substantial amount of organic mercury is formed below the surface mixed layer of the ocean.”

Probably safer to eat tainted fish than anything in a box from store still
to be honest its real hard to believe anything which we are told considering some years ago butter and coconut oil were horrible for you, but not corn oil. whatever makes the most money is whats good or bad for you apparently....since Ive lived here for ~10 years hasnt been any packaged food shit from the the grocery and I havent been sick minus a few headcolds.

That packaged food is bullshit poison. It's just as easily made yourself with a little know how and not all that weird chemical bs. I've been forced to cook since I was young so I enjoy cooking. I don't get why some hate it so bad. I like knowing I made my awesome dinner with ingredients I can identify with.

I have a simple test to tell what is food and what is a food product. If your Granny ate it, it was food.

The Jew fish, maybe they're great bankers and accountants or stingy with their finances, JK.
I know that predatory fish such as grouper and tuna have elevated levels of mercury, caused by the accumulated mercury caused by eating other fish.
It also makes sense to me that the larger the fish is also an older fish that has accumulated small levels of mercury over a longer period of time.
I know the Inuit people and even polar bears have high levels of mercury caused from eating seals and whales that spend years collecting mercury from an arguably polluted ocean.
Grouper have also been known to be toxic from Ciguatera a poison given off by bacteria in reef environments that accumulates in the apex predator species of the reef.

I'm guessing stingy with finances lmfao!
