You can mix and match fish that you catch or buy with the same limits, but once you meet the lowest limit, eat no more fish that month. Do not eat the monthly limit within a single week.
Store bought fresh and canned fish—including tuna—have mercury levels that are about the same as many Vermont-caught fish. Add in-store bought fish when you decide how many fish meals to eat each month.
One fish meal = 8 ounces uncooked fish
