Here’s a dirty secret about seafood: mercury. Big fish like swordfish and shark are basically swimming batteries of the stuff. But cod is a low-mercury hero. You can eat it a few times a week without playing Russian roulette with your nervous system.
Pregnant? Kids? Elderly? Cod is one of the safest bets in the sea. No guilt, no worry—just delicious, flaky peace of mind. (And you can even eat the skin if you crisp it up right. Yes, I said it.)
