Isn't the risk of mercury poisoning risky enough when it comes to eating fish?
What are you eating? Page 196
I think the word is "subtle". But you're probably right - bung a bit of wasabi on it and you might as well be having a nice bit o' haddock...
Isn't mercury poisoning mainly from raw fish? And if you eat it morning noon and night?

I hate seafood, so I don't really know. But here's what the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has to say:
nearly all fish and shellfish contain traces of mercury. For most people, the risk from mercury by eating fish and shellfish is not a health concern. Yet, some fish and shellfish contain higher levels of mercury that may harm an unborn baby or young child's developing nervous system. The risks from mercury in fish and shellfish depend on the amount of fish and shellfish eaten and the levels of mercury in the fish and shellfish. Therefore, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) are advising women who may become pregnant, pregnant women, nursing mothers, and young children to avoid some types of fish and eat fish and shellfish that are lower in mercury.
By following these three recommendations for selecting and eating fish or shellfish, women and young children will receive the benefits of eating fish and shellfish and be confident that they have reduced their exposure to the harmful effects of mercury.
1. Do not eat Shark, Swordfish, King Mackerel, or Tilefish because they contain high levels of mercury.
2. Eat up to 12 ounces (2 average meals) a week of a variety of fish and shellfish that are lower in mercury.
* Five of the most commonly eaten fish that are low in mercury are shrimp, canned light tuna, salmon, pollock, and catfish.
* Another commonly eaten fish, albacore ("white") tuna has more mercury than canned light tuna. So, when choosing your two meals of fish and shellfish, you may eat up to 6 ounces (one average meal) of albacore tuna per week.
3. Check local advisories about the safety of fish caught by family and friends in your local lakes, rivers, and coastal areas. If no advice is available, eat up to 6 ounces (one average meal) per week of fish you catch from local waters, but don't consume any other fish during that week.Follow these same recommendations when feeding fish and shellfish to your young child, but serve smaller portions.
If you ate fish captured in my local river you'd be more at risk from toxic shock or rubber poisoning given the amount of tampons and condoms floating around in there.

Ready salted fish?! I like it!

So, I take it you're talking about sharks?
