I would not eat anything from the pacific right now.

I'd rather eat potentially slightly radioactive wild pacific salmon than farmed Atlantic fish.
Or McDonald's burgers.

Then you must really crave those pacific albacore tuna ill bet.  By your logic if more radiation is good so why not have some fish with more PCB's as well.  LOL

Yeah, right...
"More questions? Contact us at the BC Salmon Farmers Association and we’d be happy to help answer them."

Did you take the time to click the links or did the name put you off from the start?

"I'd rather eat potentially slightly radioactive wild pacific salmon than farmed open pen Atlantic fish." to quote Milo.

I'm not really concerned about Fukushima and local fish. I'm sure they are just fine. Its the BC Salmon Farmers Association offering to give me advice on anything. But you knew that, bawb .

Seen a tv news report on Friday telling about starfish that are dying along the Pacific coast from Alaska BC right down to California.
Scientists are not ruling out Fukushima.
When people do not see radiation or pollutants within seafood they do not get alarmed.
After cancer hits they get angry & shake their heads. "If I could only turn back the clock I'd eat chicken or ham"
I would not eat anything that comes out of the Pacific, period.
The links given in prior posts are very scary.
Catch & release is in order.

One of the better, more balanced (rather than the many "alarmist" versions out there) articles I have read on the issue thus far: http://deepseanews.com/2013/11/true-facts-about-ocean-radiation-and-the-fukushima-disaster/

Methinks we will be OK. Japan... Not So Much

Easy to blame Fukushima for the Worlds radiation problems as they really have a big problem to tackle, but let's not forget all the opportunities radiation has had to screw us than just Fukushima and Chernobyl. If all these tests haven't wiped us out by now, maybe we are more resilient that we think.

Google how much radiation you receive when flying...

[arimaBOATER]

Hope Nog's link is the info that has the facts.
In this crazy world we better have " hope ".
Millions are not worrying about radiation as other concerns are more important.

Like getting a warm meal or shelter or clean water to drink or will we be safe tonight ?
Do not think radiation is a pressing issue for misplaced people living in make shift camps.
( Syria civil war on & on )
Choice between a daily wild salmon or McDonald's junk food think I'd go with the salmon.
I'd say "grace before eating" though ; maybe the Good Lord will cleanse & purify the food " if need be !

In the past 7 days or so I've eaten.....

Halibut, Ling Cod, Oysters fried & raw, Fish Soup with a half dozen different things in it, Squid and tonight Albacore Tuna, later in the week it'll be Octopus and No I Don't Glow.
