My tip for you is don't eat anything you catch from the Mississippi River!


Curious why you think this. There are a TON of fish that come out of the river that are eaten. Including many crawfish/catfish that are sold in seafood stores all over south Louisiana.



---------------------------------
In a previous career I often saw analysis of water used at the company I worked for. Many reports included samples of the raw water coming from the river. Most of them had several containments outside of limits determined to be safe for contact much less consumption. Do yourself a favor and take a small bottle to a lab and see for yourself.

As I said, I would recommend against it but do what you want.
