PFAS in seafood, should I be looking at my fish intake closer

This global study found PFOA and PFOS showing up in marine fish worldwide, with Asian fish carrying higher median levels than other regions. For anyone eating a lot of salmon or tuna to hit protein goals, this is worth a minute of thought.

Ngl, PFAS is the thing I keep coming back to when I think about what is actually in my food. The levels reported here are low in absolute terms, but these compounds bioaccumulate and they do not break down. That is the part that bugs me. A single meal is nothing, years of exposure is something else entirely.

I try to rotate sources and lean on smaller wild caught fish when I can, but honestly I have no clue what my actual body burden is without testing. Anyone here actually run PFAS blood panels, and if so did you change your sourcing after seeing the numbers?
