I would not think that cooking does a lot to remove heavy metals.

I wouldn’t think so either but there is literature floating around that suggests cooking can help in some cases.

My BIL wrote a paper and worked a study where shrimp were combusting when they hit air because they had such a high content of sulphur... in Charleston, late 90s.

Nothing a little lime juice and pico can't fix up.

That was in the Ashley

Yeah, Cypress neak and I have typed about it here before

I seem to remember it was phosphorus and from the mud, not the shrimp. That section of the Ashley River had fertilizer mills when I was growing up.

if anyone cared to read the article it mentioned pcb's from plastic.

but dont let me stop a good, uninformed debate on ridding the world of heavy metals...

When I think about bad I think of sulfur first, because it smells like poots

^i know, right? I mean...the article was like three paragraphs long. It could possibly be too much for some of these people but most should've been able to stay focused the whole time....

I forgot the avocado and tostada. I'm not a saltine kind of guy. Maybe with a soup or oyster. Hard maybe.

They tested less than 40 fish and less than 40 fillets. I don't mean to discredit MUSC research, but I almost feel like the news might be putting a "fantastic" spin on it.
