Over here in England we have been warned to eat less tuna because of mercury levels in the fish rising, pregnant women in particular. I like tuna and all fish is good in Spain, though this is a huge point of contention in the EU. The Spanish eat the most fish after the Japanese. Since Spain joined the EC their fishing fleet has access to what used to be only individual European nation's waters and they fish much more. My daughter, a marine biologist, assures me that the fisheries are pretty well beyond recovery now (like the Canadian cod) but that because the fishermen are such a powerful political lobby the quotas have neither been set low enough or enforced enough.
