Environment Memo

I don’t think fish should be tested for safety using smell, any more than looking at how clear the fish eyes are. Many Gulf fishermen agree.

What is needed is a comprehensive composite testing program: puree a whole lot of fish in a  huge blender, and analyze the resulting mash using state-of-the-art techniques of chemistry. Publish and repeat as necessary.
