Well with more mercury in Ahi than ever before, also timed with the most Ahi ever being hauled in. Makes one wonder if this will reflect positively on the prices of this ahi fish we consumers have to pay in the markets. The prices have been ridiculous for the past year or so. Seems to be more nice boats going out than ever before, less fish vendors on the sides of the roads, yet the prices have been high for good fish, why? Would our local fisherman catching these fish high in mercury be subjected to higher mercury counts too? Only fish are tested, not the folks hauling or handling them?
