Hi mr Bungalow,
I've just read your recipee and you mentioned about the omega 3. I'dd like to ad that big fish also contain too much lead, kwik and pcb's, and those, on the other side, are quite dangerous.
Its better to eat small, fat, fast growing fish, as they create a nice balance between your omega 6 and omega 3.

The higher up in the food-chain you are, the more toxins. This has nothing to do with the size of the fish, but what it eats. A 50 lb grass-carp is lower in the food-chain than a 1 lb mackerell. Farmed salmon is very safe, since the main constituents in the feed comes from chilean/Peruvian herring from the south pacific. Supposed to be some of the cleanest waters in the world. The oils in the feed nowadays are mainly vegetable-based. Don't believe Putins' BS. He's just mad cause he can't exploit Norways' polar areas.
According to the norwegian department of food-safety, the limits of PCB and quicksilver in whale-meat is at an acceptable level. But then again, I have heard alot is accumulated in fat, not muscle-tissue.
