I love fish. I would eat it every day, but I have been warned not to because of the mercury levels that certain fish carry. I noticed that most of the fish I buy is farm raised. So does that mean they would carry less of a threat? Can I eat that more often? Anyone know?

I don't know too much about it, but from my understanding, the fish with high mercury levels are the ones that are farm raised. Apparently it's that they keep so many fish so close together in their pens that contaminates the water and causes the fish to have higher chemical levels? Try THIS SITE that has an arguement about fresh vs. farmed, or there's also THIS ONE pertaining to mercury levels in fish.
