There are some important considerations when buying fish, firstly that wild-caught fish usually provide a higher quantity of nutrients. Wild-caught fish is especially high in omega-3 fatty acids due to their varied diets and are at a lower risk of exposure to contaminants and chemicals than their farmed counterpart. The main risk associated with fish and shellfish consumption is mercury toxicity, which bioaccumulates and presents a risk in larger fish such as swordfish and tuna. To limit exposure to heavy metal toxicity, choose small fish such as sardines, tilapia, or pickerel.
