I saw that report on the news last night just after eating a big slab of tuna.
Then again, they said that the average Hawaiian household consumes 24lb of ahi poke a year. That's a lot!

Even though the amount of mercury is rising, it doesn't mean it has reached dangerous levels.

PaulW, ditto. I just throw some limu kohu (full of iron), and some chili pepper water, Hawaiian salt on that fish, knowing that all those "ingrediments" counteract the mercury.

That's my story, and I'm sticking to it. []

JMO.

P.S. Go for the limu kohu that is purple at the roots, not brown.
