Alaska

Prince of Wales-Hyder County

No fish consumption advisory is on file for any of the 12 named waters in Prince of Wales-Hyder County.

That doesn't mean they've been cleared

Most waters in the United States have never been sampled for contaminants. An absence of an advisory means Alaska hasn't published one — not that the fish have been tested and found safe. Check Alaska Dept. of Health — Fish Consumption Guidelines before eating your catch, and see Alaska's statewide guidance, which applies to waters with no rule of their own.
