I try not to eat certain types of fish ( i think there are some which are higher in mercury than others, but I don't have a link handy at the moment). What also concerns me is when fish has coloring added...why?

@looch: yes to the added coloring. I don't understand!!!!

No limit, I'm trying to eat more. I check mercury levels on unfamiliar fish.

I don't limit fish at all. Unless you are eating all high mercury fish all the time (swordfish, shark, ahi tuna, grouper, sea bass etc), there really isn't any issue, IMO. Salmon, tilapia, shrimp, tuna (canned light), cod, etc are all really low mercury fish.

I'm currently pregnant so right now I do limit the amount of fish I'm eating. But normally, I eat a ton of seafood and don't limit it at all. That being said, tuna is really the only large fish I tend to eat. Other high mercury fishes like swordfish or shark are not something that I normally eat.

I'm too picky to eat fish, I wish I did. If I did, I wouldn't limit the low and medium mercury species.

Yes, but due to circumstances. I live in a landlocked country so fish (even from rivers and lakes) is not a big part of the diet here. Fresh fish is hard to find and SO expensive. The last time we bought a pound of fish it was about €15. Otherwise I would eat it at least 2-3 times per week!

I eat it as often as I feel like buying/making it, which ends up being no more than once a week.
