As badly as I wanted to keep it, I didn’t. OEHHA posted a “Do Not Eat” advisory for Silverwood stripers in 2013 because of mercury and PCBs. Didn’t want to chance it.

Bummer... Nice fish though.

Is that like the warning that is put on tuna, swordfish and others?

Similar, this warning is specific to the lake because of the noted high levels of mercury and PCBs found there. But basically the same issue.
