In response to my review of Zee Grill on Saturday, I got this terrific mail from Gary Blockhuis, retired now but once the owner of 22 fish and chip shops in Toronto. Now his son Gord and Gord's wife Rachel and a staff of 12 run Kingsway Fish & Chips (www.kingswayfishandchips.com).

Gary grew up in Holland in a picturesque village called Bunschoten Spakenburg, on the Zuider Zee ( Southern Sea) that Southern part of the North Sea which lies within Holland just below the North Sea. "We always ate fish every Friday and Saturday, My grandfather went out fishing on Monday and would not return with his catch till late Friday afternoon. It was always fresh fish, in fact back then if it wasn't alive when we brought it home we didn't eat it. That's also why Friday became Fish Night."

And Friday is still fish day for Gary, the day he goes to help out at Kingsway.

What gets up Gary's nose today is how fish is being trashed. " Today, with onboard processing and freezing of the fish we are assured that today's fish is always fresh. But that's not enough" he says. "Please, please, why does everyone need to jump on this mercury bandwagon. Yes there is some mercury in fish but you would have to eat fish almost daily for it to cause any real harm.

"Today we are smart, intelligent and well informed but we become like Lemmings when we hear something that may be harmful. We stop right there and close our minds.

Did you know that eating fish will also help prevent Juvenile Diabetes? But ithe adult world with its "built in" negative attitude and fear of mercury will never allow kids to eat a good diet of healthy Fish- better we sign them up into the MacDonald's food for life program..

We know that here are problems with all foods.You may want to go to You Tube and check out the recent "Lemon study" and how Lemons are covered with all kinds of bacteria and even fecal matter. Wow but isn't this the favourite garnish for our beverages? Now imagine the "raw" oyster drizzled with lemon juice.

Our bodies are incredibly unique, yes, we need a little dirt, some bacteria, even a little poison, to help build up immunities otherwise maybe we should just drink Lysol.
