Cooking fish does not eliminate mercury. Mercury is a heavy metal that cannot be destroyed by heat, so cooking fish won’t reduce its mercury content. The only way to avoid mercury exposure from fish is to choose fish that are known to have lower mercury levels or to limit the consumption of fish that are high in mercury. It’s important to stay informed about which types of fish are safer to eat, especially for pregnant women and children. If you’re concerned about mercury, consider checking guidelines from health organizations regarding fish consumption.
