Re: Mercury free fish? Alaskan?

[Guest guest]

How about fish from Alaska? My son and husband

recently went up there for an excursion and came home

with halibut and salmon. Our freezer is stocked. What

are the changes of it being less contaminated than

local fish? (New England)

Chances are good that your fish is safer, but life has no guarantees. We

just returned from a vacation near the Canadian border. I copied a few

articles from the net before I left, about how the NW seafood was safer.

One day on our trip, we bought NW salmon for lunch, and had it on crackers

with tofutti cream cheese and a corn-syrup sweetened soda. My seizure-prone

son (who hadn't had any that we know of, in half a year) was " ticking " like

mad an hour or two later, we had to pull off the road and give him another

Depakote. Whether it was the salmon or the other foods that he ate, or a

combination, I don't know. He had also been stung by a yellow jacket

shortly before lunch , near Grants Pass, Oregon (courtesy of the nasty

infestation of them this summer, in particular.

I definitely avoid " Atlantic Farmed Salmon " now, and a couple of years ago,

we ate it once or twice a week.

Why do you avoid Atlantic farmed salmon?
