South Carolina residents can learn more about the safety of eating fish caught in the state’s lakes and rivers by checking the updated fish consumption guide, the Department of Health & Environmental Control announced.

The 2013 Fish Smart, Eat Smart guide can help determine if the fish you’ve hooked is safe to eat – or should be released because of possible contamination.

The annual report includes an interactive statewide map with the latest advisories, information and other materials that can be downloaded.
