State's freshwater fish tainted, study says 
By LISA STIFFLER US Source: seattlepi 3/19/2006

Fish from Lake Washington and the Snohomish River are among the most contaminated in the state when it comes to chemical flame retardants, according to government research released Thursday.

The results are part of the first widespread investigation into the presence of these chemicals in Washington lakes and rivers.
 

What isn't clear is how serious a threat the contamination is for people catching and eating cutthroat trout and other freshwater fish. That's because there isn't yet an official limit set for exposure. However, local fish are contaminated at levels significantly below what limited guidelines are available.

State officials urge people to continue eating fish but recommend removing the fat when cooking it because that's where certain toxic chemicals tend to concentrate. They also suggest avoiding long-lived creatures that are likely to have built up higher levels of pollutants.
