Depends on how polluted the oceans and lakes get. I went camping in a
pristine place last summer. I asked the camp host about fishing, as the
camp was on a river. He said forget it. The lake that fed the river
was built on some old mercury mines. He pointed me to some signs posted
in the camp that specified how much fish you should eat. I believe it
was zero for pregnant women.

I think we get part of our drinking water from that river!
