What is the rarest fish in New York?

Catching one would not only be a rare feat due to their dwindling numbers but also an incredible opportunity to witness a living relic of the past swimming in modern-day waters.
Is it safe to eat fish in New York City?
Enjoying fish in New York City can be a delightful experience, especially when guided by someone like Captain Jared who knows the local waters well. While it's generally safe to eat fish in NYC, it's essential to be mindful of potential contaminants like mercury and PCBs, which can accumulate in certain species.
