Actually, couldn't you just squeeze your fish before you eat it? Should
have a lot of mercury in notime, according to the scaremongers.
Also, consider a heatsink buried about 10-15 feet deep. The temperature at
that depth in the ground does not vary very much at all. The trick to all
of this is to have a heatsink/source at a constant temp somewhere...
Merry Christams to all the nuts!
