Posted on September 2, 2025

The Government of Ontario has released an updated Guide to Eating Ontario Fish, with helpful tools to support safe fish consumption across more than 2,800 lakes and rivers.
The online guide and interactive map offer important information about:
- Which types and sizes of fish are safest to eat
- How to properly prepare fish
- Special guidance for children, pregnant individuals, and those who may become pregnant
We encourage community members to check the guide before fishing or harvesting to make informed choices for you and your family’s health.
