Default Fish Oil v Fish ... the mercury, etc. question

Apparently the current thinking is that (heavy metal wise) it is safer to take fish oil supplements than to eat many kinds of fish.

As for me, I'll probably keep eating most kinds of fish, but it only works out to a few times a month anyway.

As a frequent Canadian fishing license holder, I've learned from the literature they give you that fish of a certain age (and various part of fish) may contain stuff you don't want to eat on a frequent basis, anyway.

Every time I read this kind of thing, it makes me feel angry that we've managed to poison our waters to this extent.
