kingleds said:I lost 5lbs last time i did a fish week. Its very low fat protein so it can only be good for you. Obviously you need to be careful on how much fresh tuna & salmon you have (4 portions a week max i think) but there are loads of white fish you can eat, plus tinned tuns is fine.
In fact - might do one next week.

KittenKat said:The highest levels of mercury are apparently found in shark, malin and swordfish, followed by trout and tuna, then salmon and pollock, etc.
It's linked to the food chain - i.e. fish that are long-lived and high on the food chain contain higher concentrations of mercury than others, due to them eating the smaller fish and thus consuming the mercury levels in them, as well as the mercury levels they already have in themselves.
