Do you feel comfortable eating fish/seafood caught near urban

Catch and release. Also that bass is sharp as fuck and you could easily cut open your hand just handling it.

>>9161740
Certain urban areas, sure. The water around NYC that the Hudson empties into? FUCK no.

>>9161740
In lake erie, no. But where I used to live, by the halifax river or the st. Johns river, yes

You guys are so pessimistic, what if the factories make vitamins or something and the runoff actually makes you healthier?

pcbs and dioxins don't make you healthy, but feel free to post george carlin and then tip your fedora

I ate some striped bass pulled from Upper New York Bay last week.

I see crabbing boats in the center harbor all the time during the winter. I want a list of every restaurant those crabs are sold to, so I will never eat there.

Military activities along with gold rush mining ruined seafood in the SF bay area

Sad! What could be done to make those beautiful bodies of water fishable again?

>Eating anything that might have even touched water from the Hudson
Literally never

Baltimoron here. I would never eat anything I knew came from Patapsco Bay, but I still see people fishing for keeps right off the harbor every day. I don't think there's any commercial fishing done in the area anymore (certainly no crabbing), but still.

Who the fuck eats goldfish? Was this map made by a Korean?

Exactly! Maybe the consumption could be so healthy as to promote extra cell growth! Or cancer as some people call it/you.

Sorry, wrote that when I was tired. In New York City.

Kill all humans, let the system flush itself out for a few millennia. NYC and the Hudson River is particularly foul, due to a century of industry dumping right into the river. GE had a plant near the very source of the river, and that alone is responsible for polluting the entire expanse with PCBs, dioxins, Mercury, etc.
A lot of that settles in the sediments along the river and harbor floor. Don't eat bottom feeders.

I'm british. There IS no 'away from urban areas', but we take care of our waters a lot better than the third world.
