I picked up an information flyer at the grocery store concerning methylmercury in fish. We are being cautioned to reduce our exposure to mercury in fish. So we are to beware of King Mackerel, Shark, Swordish, Tilefish and white albacore tuna. Canned light tuna from smaller fish such as skipjack is advised. Fish considered low in mercury are: catfish, clams, cod, crab, flounder/sole, haddock, herring,ocean perch, oysters, rainbow trout, farmed salmon,wild salmon,sardines,scallops,shrimp,spiny lobster,tilapia,farmed trout.
I've heard about this before, but it was good to refresh my mind with this list. I always buy canned light tuna. Were you aware of this issue?
At any rate, have a wonderful Christmas Day, I won't post tomorrow! We plan to go over to my mom and sister's place this evening, my kids will celebrate with their cousins and we will exchange gifts. Christmas Day will be spent with M's extended family.
