Tilefish suffer from one survey taken in the '70s. This was based on a 1978 study of a few fish from a single location in the Gulf of Mexico. Tilefish do not at all fit the profile for high mercury fish. Those test results are either an abberation or simply defective, and the FDA's own 2002 figures show low mercury (much lower than any tuna, stripped bass, bluefish, sword, cod, etc) They have finally modified the list to say Atlantic Tilefish are OK (Grey as well as Golden) Gulf of Mexico Tilefish still are listed as high mercury, however that's only because they haven't been tested since that one survey in 1978. As I said, Gulf Tilefish don't fit the profile for a high mercury fish. Plus, the Gulf is safer fishing today than in '78. So until the FDA decides (or remembers) to test again, more tasty Tiles for me!

the problem with heavy metals, it that they show up in blood serum in high levels after consumtion and then disappear. They don't show up in urine samples readily. Heavy metals become stored in your bone marrow. they fester there causing all kinds of problems like myelodysplastic syndrome. just don't eat it. cancer is a horrible way to die. also, soaking the fillets in milk is like soaking a 357 in milk and then playing russian roulette.

Victor, first time watching, like it so far but on your intro you are cooking waaay to much meat in the pan. creates too much steam, heat cant get in the meat, and you end up with a boil/fry mixture instead of frying. cut that amount in half. or somewhere between 1/2 and 1/3, only about 2/5's of that meat should cook at once. if you cook less at once your fillets will crisp/firm up on the outside and they wont fall apart.

they don't die that quick they stay a drift up to about 5 min and after that they shoots like a spear back to the bottom. if by any chance you ever doubt a fish or any other see fresh catch can poison you just throw it in the sand for 7 - 10 minutes if no ants crawl or come near it just throw it away if it is not poisoned the ants will gathered on it within 5 minutes

Most of the mercury is in the fat, guts, and brain. When you make a filet, between the meat and the skin is a dark layer cut that off. It is more Prevalent in large fish like dodos or salmon. When you cook the meat it makes a seperate layer on the filet and is easy to spot.

Even if they put a limit on them by size as soon as you pull them up they have a low chance of survival and getting back to normal. Their eyes bulge their intestines blow out. Big difference in pressure for them not to mention the temp difference.
