Fish rich in ....metals

We are used to being told that oily fish are rich in omega 3 which is good for our heart, but a French magazine similar to Which? examined several varieties of fish products and (inevitably) found various anomalies. Of 15 tins of tuna tested, 13 had traces of mercury or arsenic, only those of Carrefour and Leader Price being 100% pollution free. Testing noix de St Jacques the magazine found many were inflated with water, in three cases beyond the permitted levels. This increases their weight, hence price. Finally with surimi, many contained almost anything but fish, some varieties having less than 20%.
