Will we have to go foraging in the wild for non-toxic food like Polk Salad Annie?

Not out of Poole though?

"Industrial sources contribute significantly to mercury pollution in the UK, with thermal power plants and combustion installations being major atmospheric emitters. Other industrial processes like cement production, metal production, and waste incineration also release mercury into the atmosphere. While atmospheric releases are substantial, some mercury also enters water bodies directly."

What type of industries are nearby?

What species of fish migrate from and to?

The Bass live in Poole Harbour, the breeding grounds are protected.

No industries nearby.

It's Tuna you should worry about.

I think the Sea Bream migrate from the Med.

But they are too cute to eat.

They pair up and build nests to breed.

I suppose it also has to do with what toxins are brought into the harbour by current/wave forces.

You must mean the black sea bream because other sea bream look like piranha without the teeth.

"Sea bream is a healthy option, being low in calories and rich in B vitamins. A medium-sized portion will give you the recommended daily amount of vitamins and minerals to enhance the immune system and protect against heart disease and cancer."

I have close family members that would agree with you. I won't be eating eel again...no big loss.

Everything in moderation then.

I would say I eat eel maybe 2 times a year?
Tuna a  lot more though. We get those big tuna steaks. Maybe 6 times a year?
