Precautions for eating fish

1. Raw fish can't be eaten: Many people like to keep the fish fresh when eating fish, so they choose to eat sashimi. This is very wrong. Uncooked fish has many parasites and bacteria, so it is not recommended to eat.

2. Try not to fry fish: On the occasion of the Spring Festival, many families like to fry fish and meat. Fish should not be overcooked. After high-temperature frying, the mercury content in fish increases, and after high-temperature frying, the fat in fish will exceed the standard, which is a very unhealthy diet.

3. Fish with high mercury content can't be eaten: try to buy fresh fish when eating fish, and don't go fishing by the river privately to ensure that the mercury content of fish is within a stable range.
