Wild caught fish?

My Sun loves fish off my plate. Few bites every now and then okay?

Ordinarily I would say that a bite or so once in a while would probably be ok, even though it might not be the most healthy thing for him, but in todays world I have to be skeptical of wild caught fish for me. This is because the quality of the water in our rivers and lakes is deteriorating at an alarming rate. Even here in the Blue Ridge Mountains where I live there are waters posted where eating the fish caught in them is hazardous to your health.

Yes, I have to agree with Wolf on the 'contamination' issue - plus, unless you eat fish baked without anything on it (not even salt), it would not be healthy for it even if he had the tiniest bit once a week.
