New Castle County
No fish consumption advisory is on file for any of the 34 named waters in New Castle 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 Delaware hasn't published one — not that the fish have been tested and found safe. Check Delaware DNREC — Fish Consumption Advisories before eating your catch, and see Delaware's statewide guidance, which applies to waters with no rule of their own.
