Sure, fish is delicious and very healthy, but is it always safe to eat? Well, in efforts to help eliminate the confusion surrounding fish consumption, the U.S. government has launched a new website called FishWatch.
FishWatch is designed to provide consumers with information about sustainable, safe, and healthy seafood. Listed on the site is a comprehensive description of more than 50 seafood species that are commonly found in U.S. waters, including each species' role in the ecosystem, its history and habitat, sustainability status, and a chronological list of important dates and events related to it.
So, if you have questions about mercury content, how to prepare a fish dish, or safe storage, visit the FishWatch website at www.fishwatch.noaa.gov .
