So, this means I can eat fish caught in the Pacific ocean again? Is the radioactivity low enough?

  It has been low enough the whole time. Radioactivity is super easy to detect even at harmless levels. Sunburn is a far (probably a million times? More?) bigger concern with similar effects (radiation burns possibly leading to cancer), yet people still go outside.

    Because sun is also healthy in the right dose. Its all about the right balance..

      Or lack of sun is also unhealthy by the you can't win for nothing principal. The whole Fukushima aftermath is a good example of the Mike Tyson Principal: Everyones got a plan till they get punched in the face. There were plans how to prevent this kind of mess until it actually happened.

  There's probably a number of reasons not to eat fish caught in the Pacific ocean, but nothing to do with Fukushima was ever one of them. People grossly overestimate how much radiation there is, not to mention how dangerous it is. Bananas are much more radioactive than fish from the pacific, regardless of when or where caught. :)
