I eat salmon skin, and eat the skin on most of the fish I catch, but everyone thinks I'm a maniac for doing so. Salmon skin is usually crispy, oily and delicious. I don't get why people think it's strange.

It does contain a lot of toxins so you shouldn't really eat a lot of it.

I agree though, I love me some crispy fish skin. Same with crispy chicken skin, so much fat and flavour.

People think I'm crazy too though

Bigger fish have higher concentrations of mercury in their bodies because they eat so much.

The key is to eat smaller fish, like sardines and mackerel, wild caught in the atlantic ocean.

If you see it was caught off the coast of asia, don't bother.

>> No.15762818

Mercury has an extremely long half life in the body for all organisms. Years. High mercury fish are therefore high on the food chain because they eat fish that have accumulated mercury from the fish that they eat and so on. Swordfish and sharks have the highest mercury content, so much that if you have one serving you shouldn't eat any seafood for a month.
The mercury is in the oceans due to industrial pollution.

Basically yes. The patio process for silver extraction was to amalgamate it with liquid mercury. A significant amount of mercury ran off into rivers and thence to the ocean. The book I read this from reported that there are still pools of liquid mercury off the mouths of certain rivers a century later.

Centuries-dead assholes. The patio process in the Americas goes back to the 16th c. I've never delved into the research literature on this, but the mercury would eventually be converted to cinnabar and become insoluble; I don't know how fast this process takes place. You're totally right that this won't be fixed within our lifespans, but I do wonder how long it will take to approach the previous background.
To be honest, if these underwater reservoirs of mercury still exists, they could be prime targets for an underwater drone expedition.

Just finding them at all and getting images would be a big deal.
There's already an excess of industrial mercury in the world; it's become more of a waste product than a commodity. If you were to find a pool, you wouldn't want to recover the metal, but you might want to convert it in place to cinnabar, its sulfide.

The point is to biologically neutralize any liquid mercury that might be sitting on the bottom of the ocean. Otherwise it slowly gets bioconverted by microbial activity to methylmercury, which is what bioaccumulates.

Basically because of the food chain, bacteria turn metallic mercury (what we dump into the oceans more less) into methyl mercury (the form that's actually toxic to us, you could actually drink straight mercury and be okay). All fish have these bacteria in their gut, but since a small fish gets eaten by a larger fish and so on, the mercury concentration increases throughout the food chain. By the time you reach big species like tuna, it's chock full of methyl mercury. Farmed fish usually get fed plant products so it's not an issue with them, but wild caught can have a lot of mercury.
