It is worth mentioning that fish tested from Utah lake for mercury had some of the lowest values in the state. Think about that when you are dining on a Jordanelle brown or Joes Valley fish that is under a mercury advisory.

Since the white bass, crappies, and walleyes were tested and cleared as safe to eat with respect to PCB's as well, I have been comfortable eating those species every now and then. It is a personal choice though, and if it grosses you out mentally, then you probably won't enjoy the meal, no matter how "good" the meat should be or how safe the flesh is to eat.
