Question

How much mercury does salmon have and is it safe to eat?

Answer 1

People have been eating salmon for centuries, its completely safe to eat! as long as your not on an all salmon diet.

Answer 2

Salmon is not a problem as it is a small fish.  The worst fish you can eat is shark which is sold as flake in fish shops.  The ppm of mercury in shark is very high and you are better off without it.  Swordfish has a high ppm of mercury as well  but the ppm in small fish such as salmon and other small fish is very small and they are quite safe to eat.

A web search for "mercury content in fish" might perhaps be useful for further information.
