Don't Eat Shark Fin Soup

It will get you screwed up. The mean level of mercury concentration in shark is 8.4 times that of canned light tuna (the stuff you get at the grocery store). Furthermore, you can't eat any of the cool fish like swordfish, or king mackerel because of high mercury concentrations. Also, avoid any tuna that doesn't come pink and shredded in can, because your mercury concentrations will approximately triple. If you're pregnant or a little kid, you're recommended no more than one 6 oz can of canned light tuna per week. Since I'm strong and mighty, I'll chance it with 7.
