Mackerel has silvery skin. It looks like containing mercury type of material. Any scientific evidence that the skin contains or does not contain mercury?
No. The silver color is absolutely not due to mercury. When analysis is done on fish, even ones known to be high in mercury, the results are given in parts per BILLION. Even the highest mercury-containing fish (that the FDA advises pregnant people limit or avoid) isn't more than one dozen parts per billion. That is, the fish is .00000012% mercury, an amount that's going to be completely invisible. While the skin of fish probably does contain mercury, it's not anymore than the rest of the fish, and the color is no indicator of mercury content. You cannot estimate the mercury content of fish based on the fish's appearance.
Is the mercury in fish the same as the one in the periodic table?

The consumption of fish is by far the most significant source of ingestion-related mercury exposure in humans, although plants and livestock also contain mercury. Exposure to mercury can occur from breathing contaminated air; from eating foods containing mercury residues from processing, such as can occur with high fructose corn syrup; from exposure to mercury vapor in mercury amalgam dental restorations; and from improper use or disposal of mercury and mercury-containing objects.Source:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercury_poisoning

Is eating fish everyday good for health?
Fish is good for you but can also contain high levels of mercury and PCB's. Many websites offer analysis's of mercury levels in fish, just search fish + mercury in Google. Fish like tuna and swordfish can contain very highlevels of mercury. I wouldn't go out of your way to eat fish everyday, but make sure you get at least 2 servings of oily fish a week

Can eating fish everyday with healthy side dishes hurt you?
Eating fish is very healthy, especially the ones with lots of fish oil. Fish has iron and Omega 3 (a great source for brain food). However, you should be aware that mercury levels are relatively high in Fish. You don't want to be consuming Mercury everyday of your life. I should note that Mercury levels are especially high in large predatory fish. Moderation is the answer. I hope you found this answer useful.
