Sustainable fish and mercury levels in fish

September 1, 2012 By Jessica

Monterey Bay Aquarium has a great comprehensive list of which fish are sustainable and which we should avoid eating due to over fishing. If you are ever on the central coast of California, you must visit the Monterey Aquarium, it is just spectacular with the largest amount of marine life displayed in the country. For an additional fee, you can also go scuba diving. Worth the trip!

Mercury levels in fish and seafood is something that should not be ignored. Mercury is a heavy metal that binds onto fat in our body, our brain is primarily fat, which is why mercury is a proven neuro-toxin that impairs the brain. Those pregnant, nursing, and children, especially should avoid high mercury fish.

Some safe fish are wild alaskan king salmon, wild hake, wild shrimp, sardines, and clams. Wild is always best, farm raised most likely will have pesticides if not mercury. High mercury fish to avoid are shark, tilefish, orange roughy, mackerel, swordfish, bigeye and ahi tuna.

Welcome!

Hi! I'm Jessica, welcome to my blog! I'm a wife and mother of four (all boys, including twins. Did not see that coming!) who loves to eat. Discovering food intolerances in my family and myself had me think about cooking differently with an emphasis on nutrition, but not any less deliciously. No, won't settle for that, neither will my kids! Here you will find simple, healthy, seasonal recipes we love that are gluten, dairy, and soy free. Many are also egg free, nut free, plant-based and/or grain free, given our evolving dietary lifestyle. Even though we live a life of dietary restrictions, my passion for food keeps me on a constant quest to create tasty recipes or adapt our favorite recipes from my stack of cookbooks to bring back the joy of eating again, without sacrificing flavor. Hope you find some inspiration and recipes to enjoy ... thanks for stopping by!
