Went to the local fish shop this morning, and got (among other things) a
lovely thick tuna steak. Came home, marinated it in some fish sauce, soy
sauce, a crushed garlic clove, one tiny Thai red chili pepper, chopped
(believe me, one was enough!) and some chopped coriander (cilantro),
then seared in a very hot pan until just rare - maybe 2 mins on each
side. Served with some stir fried veg with more fish sauce and soy
added. Beautifully tender, full of flavour and totally delicious!

From irishseafood.com:

"Mr Alan Reilly, Acting Chief Executive, FSAI stated it is important
that consumers including pregnant and breastfeeding women continue to
appreciate the role and benefits of fish in a healthy diet. Everyone
should continue to eat one to two portions of fish per week including
one portion of oily fish such as salmon. “In Ireland, the consumption of
shark, swordfish, marlin and fresh tuna is relatively low. Consumption
however in relation to tuna is increasing especially in relation to
canned tuna, so we would caution pregnant and breastfeeding women as
well as young children to not exceed the consumption of two 8oz cans of
tuna per week. All other adults and young people should continue to eat
tuna and fish products as vital component of a healthy diet. This
precautionary advice purely relates to the potential impact mercury can
have on unborn, newborn and young children. Exposure during pregnancy is
considered the most critical period for methylmercury toxicity, and the
unborn child and young children are the most vulnerable to its effects
out of all groups.”"

I'm not pregnant, so one tuna steak a week isn't really a problem.

If you MIGHT want to have kids in the future, it's always worth digesting
facts from more than one source, and being keenly aware of history:

Mercury also causes short term memory loss in adults. What were we talking
about????

This tuna/mercury thing is getting ridiculous. I've been eating
canned tuna all my life and haven't had my lips fall off or grown a
third foot. I don't eat tuna 3-5 times a week like the Minimata's
probably do, but I grew up on tuna fish sandwiches and casseroles.
I'm healthy, my kids are healthy, and my grandkids are healthy, tuna
eaters all. Eating a few onces tuna once or twice a month is just not
going to make any difference.

OTOH, I rarely eat anything from the SF Bay. Heavy mercury pollution.

I think you already eat too much, if your earlier soup suggestion is any
indication.

People who want kids AND want them to have tuna in the future, might
consider not having any tuna at all. Somsthing to do with overfisching,
as well as saving dolphins.

They could also write to the meat sock in the White House and ask him why he
gave his buddies a pass in terms of spewing MORE mercury into the air,
instead of less.

I guess that's why Hawaii's "local" population is only 8% of the total
ethniticity. Too much Ahi! Well, now we know.

That sounds wonderful! I'm jealous. Living in land-locked Kansas I
don't get fish like that.
