I've been eating Mahi-mahi for many years without any negative experiences at all - fact is it's served pretty much everywhere on the island because it freezes so well with no noticeable dryness after thawing. I do have the opportunity to buy exclusively from local small time fishermen here in the area so pretty sure it's not from any deep sea commercial concerns.
I didn't say anyone [I]would[/I] get mercury poisoning but it's a fish very high up in the scale (no pun).
Same goes for ciguatera poisoning.
Earlier, you were wondering if mahi-mahi is "dori".
It's not. It's [B]dolphinfish[/B] which [B]is[/B] a fish, not a mammal (dolphins and whales are marine mammals).
Mercury comes in various forms (liquid, solid, gaseous) and accumulates over time in animals.
Obviously, if you keep adding more to your body, there will be more there.
It's good for you that you [I]think[/I] you have had no "negative experiences" so far.
Then again, I've often wondered why you sign off your posts with
[I]When did you realize that you were a GOD? Well, one day I was praying and I found I was talking to myself...[/I]
People can eat all the mahi-mahi they like but maybe not too often on a regular basis. I don't know how much is "too much".
Maybe less than five times/month is "safe-ish".
Then again, seafood is not the only source of mercury we ingest.
It can be in some vegetables, air pollution from vehicles and other sources, etc.
Lead is another metallic poison (like mercury).
Ever seen lead-free petrol here?
What? Not even in the "[B]real Bali[/B]" where you are?
