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.
