Actually the real answer, iirc, is that his brain was too toxic for it to survive. I'm not even kidding!! :-P (he ate so much fish that he gave it mercury poisoning)

Then he used that to claim that he had a mental disability that was so bad that he should not have to pay money to his wife after the divorce.

Now his campaign says that despite the brain worms, he totally doesn't have a disability.

This man is amazing - he is literally all things, to all people, at all times (at least in his own worm-addled mind, that is!:-P).

How long do you have to cook fish to cook off the mercury?

Cooking doesn't help any. I wondered if washing would... but also no. Or trimming, but again no. Basically you just need to avoid it.

https://www.fda.gov/food/environmental-contaminants-food/fdaepa-2004-advice-what-you-need-know-about-mercury-fish-and-shellfish says you can:

eat up to 6 ounces (one average meal) per week of fish you catch from local waters, but don't consume any other fish during that week.

It's got a ton of good advice - which types of fish are okay, which are less so, deeper answers to timing and many other questions too.
