When you reach for your cordless electric drill, you likely won't be digging a hole in the head of a dead fish yet that is exactly what they do about ten thousand times a day at Safe Catch, a seafood distributor in Sausalito.

As for why they do this, the answer begins with Bonnie Wittenberg.

Wittenberg's design business began to suffer exactly when she did.

Eventually, doctors discovered the culprit was mercury in the tuna-heavy diet she'd been following to lose weight.
