On eating more fish: How worried should I be about mercury poisoning? Is it worthwhile to carefully select fish for low mercury content?
For instance, one guy on /r/fitness reports that 2 cans of chunk light tuna a day gave him mercury poisoning; while you're not recommending that much fish, I'd expect that health detriments appear long before full-blown mercury poisoning.
(I'm not expecting you in particular to tell me this, I just want to know if someone on LW has already done this research.)
The health benefits of fish outweight the health detriments of mercury until way beyond the level of consumption you're likely to get to.
Just eat fish.
