Reply to comment by SyndicalistCPA in what do the Hudson River fishermen do with all the crabs they catch at the pier and waterfront? by Delicious_Adeptness9
Here is the advisory and recommendations on how to cook. Everyone evaluates risks differently. I have eaten fish/crabs very sporadically over the years from the Hudson/ NY Bay. I always found it strange while fishing when somebody came by overweight and chain smoking saying they never would eat a fish from the river. Certainly their odds of cancer (if they don't die of heart attack first) would be higher for someone who smokes/has unhealthy lifestyle.

I eat the migratory fish from the river like fluke, tog and the rare barely keeper striper. They are only here a few months of the year unlike crabs or white perch, and there's really no difference between the fish population in the River/Bay and those in the Sound or Raritan Bay. The striper you catch off of Montauk might have been up the Hudson River just a few days earlier.
