You should eat sardines and other small fish. They eat plankton and krill and other tiny things and therefore do not bioaccumulate the nasty stuff like mercury and PCBs.

This is the right answer

Supplements have risk of bioaccumulation just like animals much higher up the food chain - small fish and bottom of the food chain animals is often a very safe and sustainable bet.


Some supplements (I was told) do perform treatments to eliminate mercury etc.
