[![Black and white illustration of a fish on hook and line.](https://blogs.edf.org/edfish/wp-content/blogs.dir/18/files/2011/03/Fishonhook.jpg)](https://blogs.edf.org/edfish/wp-content/blogs.dir/18/files/2011/03/Fishonhook.jpg)The U.S. government recently and for the first time recommended that Americans eat eight ounces of fish every week.
