New York County
No fish consumption advisory is on file for any of the 15 named waters in New York 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 York hasn't published one — not that the fish have been tested and found safe. Check New York State Dept. of Health — Chemicals in Sportfish and Game before eating your catch, and see New York's statewide guidance, which applies to waters with no rule of their own.
