If I have salmon or talipia for lunch and dinner every day am I at serious risk of mercury poisoning or is this just fear mongering I'm reading online?

Where are you reading this? In studies and research journals?

Found the data I'm looking for and it doesn't look good
Anyone around here eat fish regularly and experience otherwise?

higher risk than someone not eating those things every day. ask your doctor for a mercury test if youre concerned. total risk is still pretty low. odds are great that youre eating farmed salmon which shouldnt be contaminated with mercury at all. if you were eating deep sea tuna, those tend to accumulate mercury via bioamplification. i think most tilapia is also farmed

I used to eat tilapia all the time. I was fine.

That's a study of two cases and the method didn't seem very strong either. We know that mercury is toxic but the study doesn't offer real information on the real risks.
