Is it true that Sockeye salmon contains far less methylmercury than swordfish or king mackerel?
Unclear. Two sources indicate that swordfish and king mackerel are high in methylmercury and that salmon is among fish low in mercury, but neither source specifically compares sockeye salmon's mercury level with those species.
