Just my opinion as I am not a specialist, but I think it is bullshit.
Many fishes and squales die in the sea and - with all the respect i want give, ple ase don' take it wrong - what are some thousands of people in the ocean?

Lots of chick(en)s in Thailand as well

P.S. I know there was some concern, but heard on the news today that it's completely safe to eat fish. For the time being I would skip the grilled shark on the menu.

Fish eat what there accustomed to eat. Meaning smaller fish. Worry about bottom eaters such as crab,lobster and shrimp.Not to disreaspect anyone after this tragedy,but fish eat not just meat. Put a steak in your aquarium and see how many eat it. Not many!

Bullshit, and even if it would be true that would only mean raw fish.

Don't worry about these reports as even if you were so unlucky to eat a fish or crab (more likely to scavenge eat) that ate human flesh it would have processd it in a normal biological manner and should not be harmful.

People in Singapore are starting this myth as well - It a real pain in the butt as I was just tucking into some sushi when someone mentioned they were going to stop eating fish for these reasons.

Besides a lot of the regions hit rely heavily on fishing and if people start hyping this then they will suffer twice in the loss of business...

I agree with Bafana. The worst are crabs and prawns/shrimps.
If you find a body at sea it is full of shrimps. A fisherman helping in the sea rescue services told me they where not eatable.
I suspect after a few weeks you can't taste it and you can't certainly ask a shrimp what he had on his menu before.
I don't worry too much about fish, and when I come back I suppose the prawns will be OK again.
