manfish Posted April 2, 2021 Report Share Posted April 2, 2021 You don't have to worry about eating Simcoe smelt cuz theres only about 12 swimming in there.😀 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisherman Posted April 2, 2021 Report Share Posted April 2, 2021 I'm sure if they did extensive testing, not too many fish would pass go and make it into the frying pan. Even the northwest pacific seems to be polluted pretty bad too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronzo Posted April 2, 2021 Report Share Posted April 2, 2021 Some good points in that video re: recreational and commercial consumption limits. Hard to know what influences the regulations laid out in the guide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akaShag Posted April 8, 2021 Report Share Posted April 8, 2021 Brian, is that you doing a cameo as the man narrating that clip? 😁 I see that sign on the wall: WHALE OIL BEEF HOOKED. Say it quickly........... I am GLAD we have a guideline in this province for eating sportfish. I do consult it from time to time, especially if I am fishing a new-to-me area and intend to catch a meal or two. Hmmm, Quinte walleye: mercury, mirex, PCB, insecticides and dioxin, yum yum!!! I am guessing that the MNRF is NOT responsible for advising the public about consumption limits for commercially caught fish, but that's just a guess.

Joe Suarez Posted February 13 Report Share Posted February 13 (edited) Has the situation improved a bit since 2021? Thankfully, thanks to collaborative efforts, the Michigan Smelt Dipping Association reports healthy smelt populations and an exciting season ahead. This means a boon for the ecosystem and the potential for fresh, local seafood dishes, like pan roasted swordfish, to grace dinner tables once again.

BillM Posted February 13 Report Share Posted February 13 I could use a dozen or so for spring pike. Maybe I'll just grab some mackerel/herring instead lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ketchenany Posted February 13 Report Share Posted February 13 In the early 2000s I worked/produced a guide by the MNR, Eating Ontario Sport Fish. I’m sure It was done for a few years and then they stoped printing it. Unless they have it digitally now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep: https://www.ontario.ca/page/guide-eating-ontario-fish I have used this guide pretty extensively over the years. If memory serves me, it started in the 80s (paper copies of course) Doug 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rizzo Posted February 14 Report Share Posted February 14 Even though I rarely eat fish (maybe once a year? or once in 2 years?) i would always pick up a copy. Pre-internet days it was a good resource to know what kind of fish were in each lake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
