Which Fish is Safe to Eat?

Although it has been suggested that the benefits of eating fish on cardiovascular health and mortality far outweighs the risks due to environmental pollutants, I suppose that is assuming one eats a variety of fish types. If you eat bluefin tuna this week and sardines next week, that’s better than always eating bluefin tuna, a type of fish you are advised to consume only one serving per month.
So how do you know which fish types to avoid, which ones are good for you, and how many servings can you safely eat of a certain type of fish or seafood?
OceansAlive has a list of the best and worst seafood choices. You can even download a pocket guide (pdf file) you can take with you when you go shopping. If you have any other questions on the safety of eating fish or taking fish supplements, you might find the answers here.
