Guys don't want to rain on the parade .ontario guide to eating ontario sport fish dosnt recomend eating to many bowsfrom erie, and also cohos are amongst the worse for contaminants, from both erie and lake o..walleye have less contaminants that bows ..
For sure. Definetly need to pay attention to that. I generally don't keep anything larger than 5 lbs for rainbows, or much over 5 lbs for walleye either. Unless it is not going to make it. Can't stand wasting meat.Some of the pictures of big salmon, trout (especially lakers) and walleye from Erie and Ontario makes me cringe at the thought of people actually eating such polluted fish.
Far too many people focus on putting as much meat as they can into the freezer without taking into consideration what they’re actually eating…
Nothing over 8lbs kept... rib cage and below tossed...Guys don't want to rain on the parade .ontario guide to eating ontario sport fish dosnt recomend eating to many bowsfrom erie, and also cohos are amongst the worse for contaminants, from both erie and lake o..walleye have less contaminants that bows ..
Isn't that the truth!Nothing over 8lbs kept... rib cage and below tossed...
I'd like to see recommended servings of anything that comes in a box or fast food...
I think like anything we eat, it's a matter of moderation.Guys don't want to rain on the parade .ontario guide to eating ontario sport fish dosnt recomend eating to many bowsfrom erie, and also cohos are amongst the worse for contaminants, from both erie and lake o..walleye have less contaminants that bows ..
Hmm, not to mention pickerel/ walleye, perch at the supermarket comes from Erie, I yet to see a warning sign next to the price tag about consumption guidelinesNothing over 8lbs kept... rib cage and below tossed...

I'm not sure I they test the whole fish-lateral line, belly fat etc. Or just the meat loin, tail section..I would say walleye are leaner therefore more consumption is allowed..also wonder how much the net fishery comes into play for guidelines on fish they catch and sell..I personally only smoke bows and salmon 5 lb max, from lake ont..I will keep a real small bow from erie, but it is the exception..Thing is the meat from the store or fast food doesn’t come from a lake where the animals are eating food full of contaminants and heavy metals. Practically every food you buy has recommended daily servings and you won’t find the nasty contaminants that are found in wild fish as regulations are in place to prevent this.
An 8lb bow is what, 26-28”? Being a fatty fish they hold more contaminants which is why they recommend eating 1 meal per month for bows that size and zero for kids/women. Not one fish, 1 normal meal serving per month. That tells you these fish are heavily polluted.
To each their own, but it’s ridiculous for random internet dudes to completely ignore the work scientists/biologists have done to provide this guide.
I zipper off the top of the walleye fillets (loins), cube, wrap in 1/3 piece of bacon, skewer and drizzle some garlic butter over it while cooking on the bbq or in the oven then a another wee touch of garlic butter to serve or on the side (heavy on the minced garlic)Favourite bow recipe for me is bacon wrapped trout.
Fillet, debone and skin the fillet. Cut into 1” square chunks. Marinate in zesty Italian dressing for an hour. Then wrap each piece in 1/3-1/2 slice of bacon the bbq with bbq sauce. Can’t get enough of them.
Have done this with salmon too and works just as well.
The meat coming from a store or fast food might not come from the lake where they are eating food full of contaminates and heavy metals but It do come from the land where much of contaminates and heavy metals start and run off.. how do you know the meat in the store is not just has polluted in one way or another?Thing is the meat from the store or fast food doesn’t come from a lake where the animals are eating food full of contaminants and heavy metals.

That's just human nature. Forever have we as a race ignored what science tells us, not necessarily because we don't understand it, nor because we don't trust it. We just don't LIKE it. We don't like what they're telling us, so, we ignore it. Sometimes that works against us, sometimes our stubbornness to accept what the scientists are telling us, works in our favor. Sometimes, we get a little of both.it’s ridiculous for random internet dudes to completely ignore the work scientists/biologists have done to provide this guide.
