NYS has changed its advisories for eating fish from all waters around the state. If you have concerns about eating Ontario fish, check out the new publication.

To date no PROVEN health hazards to eating Lake Ontario salmon !l

I always remove all the parts of trout and salmon that {according to the DEC) contain the most toxins . The belly meat ,lateral line of fat and the skin . Most of my salmon get smoked , which gets most of the fat and oil out of the fish during the smoking process. Been eating fish out of Lake O since the 50's and trout and salmon since the 70's .

If you are worried about eating fish from Lake Ontario, don't eat anything from the grocery store.  Farm raised fish is worse for you than Lake Ontario fish.

You couldn't possibly eat enough fish in a lifetime to have ill effects. The health benefits FAR outweigh the "hazards" created by tests in California. Lol

So their recs are based on eating the WHOLE fish, including head, guts, bones, etc. they do this as some cultures will grind the whole fish. What data their is about filet only is scant, but the toxins in question, pcb and Mercury, have been in steep decline, although studies show wide variability.

I work in medicine and know how to read a study, and find the available data confusing at best. The most interesting recs are the ones pertaining to women and children. Essentially, the "alarm" threshold is lower than for adults, and in many cases our fish fall well below this- but as a blanket policy, if there are any fish or contamination issues on a particular body of water, they make all fish in that whole area "unsafe" for children. I honestly don't know if I can feed my daughter (she loves fish) salmon filets

In some cultures, they DO eat the whole fish...

So the little microscopic tags that the fish received from the hatchery are inside the Gizzard of some of these folks who eat fish head soup!

Think of what that could mean!?

Just don't eat the fish heads, you will be fine...unless you like the government tracking you "naked" all over!
