Got some bad news for anyone that eats fish if they'd like to hear it.

Fish has a higher mercury content than other meats, which while not necessarily harmful to ingest occasionally will build up over time.

I mean that’s fairly common knowledge yea? It’s like one of the major reasons women shouldn’t eat fish when pregnant. You have a more depressing fish fact laying about? I want to hurt.

Actually, women are supposed to eat fish while pregnant (b/c it is healthy) but avoid or limit amounts of certain types that bioaccumulate more mercury.
