Low mercury choices

Eating a variety of different fish species is a good way to gain the nutritional benefits without consuming too much mercury 🐟

This compound accumulates in the body and can especially disrupt the nervous system and certain organs.

Large predatory fish contain the most. A sensible choice of species that can be consumed is important to maintain a proper intake of precious omega 3 fatty acids.

Santé Canada recommends that we eat 2 servings of 75g (2 1/2 oz) of fish per week.
