Please don't read this unless you are a glutton for tmi
In a nutshell I am not interested in eating seafood until I believe it is being grown and monitored correctly. Proceed if you must:sharkfin:
After the mass mishandling of the gulf oil spill, I'm not eating gulf or foreign seafood caught recently until someone that has integrity publishes the results of tested water and seafood for at least several years.
Some of these toxic chemicals in our waters all over the world take up residence in your body and compromise your immune system over a period of time.
I'm not a guinea pig, nor do I intend to be a lab rat for government testing after the fact.
Many government offices that cover this field have proven their ignorance or turned their heads repeatedly and are swayed by corporate funding.
I certainly am not taking their word for the safety of local or foreign seafood until the American citizens are shown the info that is needed for them to decide for themselves if it is safe or not.
Take their word for it, yeah right.
If you would not eat shrimp out of your toilet, you might want to find out the conditions your seafood is grown in.
Does anyone remember when some of our food from Mexico was found to be growing in human feces?

What is in the water our seafood is living in? Are you willing to take someone else's word for it, or do you prefer proof?

Just because you can't see the toxins doesn't mean it isn't there.
You can't see the wind either, only the effect the wind makes.
The location of where our food is grown should be listed, pics of the growing area should be included on the packaging, any chemicals, fertilizers, antibiotics, hormones, etc., or nearby potential pollutants should be documented.
This would be one of the first phases of America's health plan- PREVENTION
