just wondering side effects for Humans if too much mercury in bloodstream?
quote:
Inorganic mercury toxicity often causes skin rashes and inflammation (dermatitis). If ingested, it can dissolve tissues and some may be absorbed by the intestinal tissue. Large amounts of ingested inorganic mercury may cause bloody diarrhea. Absorbed mercury can spread to other organ systems resulting in mental changes including mood swings and memory loss or renal damage. Muscle weakness may also occur.

Fetal brains are especially susceptible. Should be avoided by pregnant women.

Buddy caught one back in March and gave three bags of it. I had never tasted it before and I have to say it is my new favorite. Absolutely delicious.

Well if that’s it no reason to really worry about it so game on.
J/k
I did do a little reading on it I think as basically mentioned in most articles if your ingesting 6-8oz one time every couple weeks you will be fine and have zero issues. Unless pregnant in which I still identify as a man and so I’m not at this point.
Thanks for the info

Uh, you're the one upset about what he identifies as. So you're the bigger bigot.

If fish contain high mercury levels, and mercury levels in fish can be toxic to humans, why are the Japanese so relatively healthy when eating a larger percentage of fish than others?
*The above is probably grammatically atrocious and I understand that fish do indeed contain mercury and mercury is indeed harmful at high levels. I just don't understand how the Japanese eat a ton of fish and seemingly suffer no ill effects of the mercury ingested.

Japan had serious mercury poisoning issues in the mid 20th century. The official disease is called Minamata disease, which is named after an incident in Japan in the 1950's. Since then, they have implemented much stricter pollution regulations and keep cleaner waters than other parts of the world.
There are also theories that their diet being higher in fruits and grains also helps in preventing mercury absorption - and longer exposure causes increased mercury excretion. But regardless, these diet habits were in place when Minamata disease was first identified. Eating a fruit and some rice and thinking you offset any high level mercury is like drinking a diet coke and thinking you offset that Big Mac.

Seriously hope that was an attempt at an awfully played and mistimed joke.
If not bite me and see yourself out.

I think the oiliness due to a natural gland in the fish helps it stay moist instead of drying out like some other fish can. Lots of Omega 3s in oily fish great for joints and skin plus our cardiovascular system. As mentioned by others the Mercury situation is something to think about but monitored portions a 2-3 times a month should never be an issue unless you have some form of sensitivity to it.

Chilean Sea Bass

100% agree of it being better than Tuna. Much better texture and flavor with just the right consistency so semi filling over say a lighter fluffy fish like Chilean sea bass, Catfish, Trout Cod and even Salmon which I love too.

I’m not a big fish guy.
Besides speckled trout (flounder, catfish, redfish)
The best fish I’ve ever eaten was wahoo.
Caught fresh out of the gulf, cleaned and cut into steaks.
Olive oil salt and pepper on the grill added better after.
Thick delicious whit meat and tender.
I will try swordfish again. Last time was many years ago at TJ Finn’s.
Swordfish cheeks if I remember and it was outstanding.

You just named half the fish in the Gulf that you eat and claim to not be a fish guy.

Haaaaa
You’re right!
I’m just cautious about ordering fish in a restaurant

I love swordfish. I get mine at Joe Patti’s 5-6 times a year. Mr Patti typically cuts mine about 1-1/4” thick. I turn my pellet grill on as high as it will go and cook the thing like a steak. I grill it to around 130 to 135 degrees and let it rest like a steak. They aren’t very good if you overcook them. I don’t eat it enough to worry about mercury. I’ve been getting that white albacore tuna from Joe Patti’s and it’s surprisingly good too. Both have a buttery taste. Nice to have something different than ahi tuna and mahi mahi on the grill. They all taste good cooked in a pan too. I agree OP swordfish is pretty tasty.

I agree swordfish is under rated its one of my favorite fish now, the mercury is a non issue for 99.9% of people. I love swordfish as a grilled fish, its fantastic with almost any sauce or sides.
Wahoo is really a great fish also and fairly close to swordfish in flavor but not in texture.
