Fish have the enzyme required to keep mercury in the harmless state. We  
don't, so it is changed in our bodies into the harmful state.

Aajonus Vonderplanitz had tests done on his and some dogs' body wastes,  
and they showed that the mercury from raw fish was 98% excreted, while of  
that from cooked fish, 98% was retained.

I'm guessing that this applies to all seafood.
