Essex County
No fish consumption advisory is on file for any of the 27 named waters in Essex 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 New Jersey hasn't published one — not that the fish have been tested and found safe. Check New Jersey DEP — Fish Smart, Eat Smart NJ before eating your catch, and see New Jersey's statewide guidance, which applies to waters with no rule of their own.
