Bluefish carries consumption advisories on 665 waters across 4 states. Limits depend on the water and the fish's size — a bigger fish has had longer to accumulate contaminants, so it's usually the stricter one.

Contaminants found in bluefish: Dioxins, Mercury, PCBs, PFOS

Advisories are per-water — there is no single answer

The strictest advisory on file for bluefish is Do not eat due to elevated PCB. Whether that applies to your fish depends entirely on where you caught it. Find your water below.
