    In fact, some of the heavy metals discharged into the sea will be enriched in the body of seafood. The first contact with pollutants is settled shellfish, such as oysters, clams, etc., and the harmful substances in the tuna at the high end of the food chain are smaller than the small fish. There are more small shrimps or shellfish, and the fish head is a highly enriched part. Therefore, experts suggest that when eating shellfish seafood, it is best to eat only the muscle parts to remove the visceral mass; the fish should eat less fish heads, and the large fish have a heavier metal content than small fish (such as saury, croaker, sardine). Eat more if you have more.
