Young buck, take the time to educate yourself and read the contents of the link you posted. It depends on the species and the area. You have to read it real close. If you are going to take the advice of the State then you should also consider the areas where they deem it is safe.
For example, it is now safe to eat spotted sea trout in Galveston Bay including Trinity and East Bay, as long as your not pregnant. But, do not eat a spotted sea trout that is harvested north of Redbluff Point.
Nowhere does it say it is unsafe to eat spotted seatrout from the Galveston Ship Channel (Don't confuse the Galveston Ship channel with the Houston Ship Channel, 2 completely different things).
This is just an example for you, catfish is a total different story.
Are they safe to eat? Well, if U are that concern about health issue, then answer is NO.
For example, is McDonald food safe to eat? I've had not eaten at McDonald for about 10 years now but maybe I'm only one of the few. Lol.
Also if you read the info the state puts out most of the PED's settle in the internal organs and the head. So don't eat those parts. I don't know if I would eat fish from Galveston 365 days a year. But once in a while it's good eats!
I was thinking about this. What about all the flood water we had earlier in the year? Most of the trout were pushed down south to east bay, lower Galveston bay, etc. Wouldn't that completely redistribute the fish? So the current population would be completely different then the previous "tested" population? Hmmmm.
I've noticed that at night, I would dream of catching flounder and would have these random hallucinations throughout the day catching flounder, must be the fish I ate from the ship channel
i think your going to throw up , there is something wrong , those fish are all flat. must have found them near the sewer plant output at SeaWolf Park.
Everything over there is sick, that is why they used it as a quarenteen station
for so many years. Its not that bad at Zephers reef, fish are not flat there.
:dance:
that ban has been there all most of our lives. it's to late if you've ever fished anywhere along the gulf coast. from state line to border there are ports and industries dumping and it doesn't say in one place long. FYI!
Carry ON! eat more dioxins! :headknock :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
I would still rather eat a hardhead out of Burnet Bay that a farm raised asian tilapia.
