Thread: Toxic chemicals in Lake Wateree

And the same water that runs through Wateree runs right into Santee-Cooper.

What I want to know is has the fished been checked after they come out of 400 degree cooking oil ?

What part of the fish are they testing? I bet if they took an actual fillet and tested it the levels wouldn't be as high. It also said if you removed the fatty tissue that helped a lot. How much fatty tissue is in a fillet? Not much I bet, but anyway if the water gets as muddy as it did last year there won't be many of us eating much striper that's for sure! Those big blues will still bite though!

I beleive unless it has changed the Federal Goverment recommends eat 1 or 2 servings of fish a week, either baked or broiled.

Okay so lets go buy 1 serving a week from the grocery store, 99% of all fish comes from China, Vietnam, Cambodia and other Indonesia countrys.
So what are health standards Like. Since most fish is farm raised what are they feeding them. What care to they take of the fish there importing to this country.
Watch Tv look at some of the rivers, them ole villages along the banks, what kind of a sewage system do they have, where does the human waste go??


To each there own, but I for one would rather eat the fish I caught in one of our lakes. Then eating fish that was imported, and came from the grocery store.

Stump Hunter,
if you can't eat fried fish try taking a caserole dish cut up some onion put your crappie filets on top of the onion cover them with your favorite salsa sauce mild,medium or hot. bake them covered with foil at 350 degrees for 15 mins or until done flaking with a fork.

Long time since I posted here but had to throw in my two cents....Being a commercial fisherman I can tell you that there is a concentrated campaign going on with noaa and the other powers that be to diminish the viability of our fisheries. Here at the coast it's even worse as they seem to have pooled most of their budgets into our areas rather than you guys inland. Recreational fishermen are being recruited as mouth pieces for their movement and it has gotten in some places where there is actual tension on the waters we share. I'm not saying that theres not some things in the fish we eat that aren't so good for us but the same could be said for just about any of our other food sources.I dont know if it was started to help boost the import markets (like nafta) or for what reason but there is a very real effort being made to spread this propaganda. I believe it is being done for profit. There is big business in scaring folks. They have shut down the snapper/grouper fisheries here for 6 months at a time citing "best available data". I think it's BS. Keep eating your fish.
