Spot on i believe.

When people think of mercury levels in fish they think of tuna, swordfish etc, not so much the smaller fish like stripers. I am talking about your average consumer. I noticed a sign in CT at a public fishing spot warning about consumption limits of certain species. I have never seen a warning at a grocery store or sushi shops.

I really don't see why striper is in demand. It is so far down on my list of fish that i prefer to eat.

I knew i would catch something for saying that. I have tried it many different ways baked, grilled, fried the only way i like it is in fish cakes. Sad that i prefer to eat Pollack over striper. I gotta admit i have often thought about how good the 16" fish i am throwing back would taste.

POLLACK!

Way back when Spring Schoolies where on my table pretty regular that time of year and if memory serves me correctly they where milder tasting than the big guys....
