Surely you have heard about the harm of pangasius and tuna, which have the property of accumulating substances that are dangerous for the human body.

However, the list of harmful fish is not limited to them.

Let's figure out what other types of seafood should be excluded from your diet.

5 types of harmful fish

You will probably be surprised, but the first in our anti-rating is sea bass. The fact is that this fish accumulates mercury, and therefore it is recommended to eat it no more than 2 times a month.

Another fish that is dangerous to humans is the shark. Its meat is not only difficult to cook because of its specific smell, it also accumulates heavy metal, which can be obtained from the fish that the predator hunts.

You should also refrain from such a delicacy as swordfish. Since its meat is considered rare and expensive, unscrupulous suppliers most often replace it with analogues that are similar in taste, but much more harmful.

Wild mackerel is contraindicated for children and pregnant women, and even healthy people should refrain from it due to the concentration of mercury in the meat.

Eel should also be excluded from your diet. Although it is considered a delicacy fish, it has the ability to absorb harmful waste discharged into the water bodies where it lives into its fatty tissue.
