The Hidden Risk Behind “Healthy” Fish Choices
Ordering fish at a restaurant often feels like the safest, healthiest option on the menu. It’s associated with clean eating, high protein, and heart benefits. But not every fish choice is as harmless as it seems.
Some of the most popular and expensive seafood options hide concerns that menus rarely mention. Fish like swordfish, Chilean sea bass, certain types of tuna, and orange roughy come with risks that go beyond taste.
These species are typically large, long-lived predators. Because of their position in the food chain, they accumulate higher levels of mercury over time. This can become a concern, especially if eaten frequently.
