ABSTRACT
It is common knowledge that fish are a nutritious component of a human diet, as they constitute a valuable and desired source of protein and polyunsaturated fatty acids. Crustacea and shellfish, consumed chiefly for their high sensory values, also demonstrate a similar nutritive value as well as provide zinc that improves the functioning of the nervous system. Nevertheless, seafood are likely to pose risk to consumer’s health since they contain a variety of toxins. In addition, the risk is magnified by the fact that those toxins are usually thermo-resistant and cannot be eliminated by such treatments as cooking.
