Fish is a delicious part of a nutritious

diet. Fish is low in fat and calories. If you

choose wisely, fish can be a low-cost part

of your family’s diet. But you may

wonder about the safety of fresh fish.

Is the fish from the grocery

store safe to eat?

✱ Fresh, unfrozen fish or seafood

should have these traits: firm, not soft

or mushy; rounded, clear, shiny eyes;

clean smell, no strong odor.

✱ Frozen and canned fish sold in

grocery stores — such as cod, ocean

perch and salmon — are safe to eat as

part of a varied diet.

✱ It is not safe to eat any fish or shellfish

raw. Raw fish may contain bacteria

and parasites.

✱ Some fish you should NEVER eat

while pregnant or breastfeeding.

Albacore tuna, king mackerel, red

snapper, shark, swordfish and tilefish

contain too much mercury.

How do I store fresh fish

safely?

✱ Wash fresh fish in cold water, wrap

well, refrigerate, and use within 1 or 2

days.

✱ Fish will spoil more quickly than

other meat. If you do not plan to eat it

within 2 days, wrap it well, label and

freeze it.

Are the fish caught in local

lakes or streams safe to eat?

✱ Smaller panfish are safe to eat if

cleaned and put on ice as soon as pos-

sible after they are caught.

✱ Larger fish from inland lakes and

rivers may contain pollutants such as

mercury and PCBs (polychlorinated

biphenyls). Persons who eat a lot of

fish containing mercury or PCBs may

have health problems later in life.

Caution: Pregnant or breastfeeding

women and children under the age of 15

years should be extra careful to limit the

kinds, size and amount of fish they eat.

Check with the Department of Natural

Resources for advisories about fish caught

in lakes or rivers that contain pollutants.
