I like gardeningjunkie had success with Cilantro. I froze mine and added fresh fruit, yogurt sometimes, juice and honey. When the drink is cold and a bit sweeter it’s more palatable.
Please consume it anyway you want: paste, salad, smoothie. Also add any nutritional or flavorful additives you want. I only experimented with raw, not cooked cilantro. I never read a blog of someone using cooked cilantro as a heavy metal detox. Most used about a giant handful daily, about a half a bunch, but some consumed an entire bunch a day. Few reported positive results with cilantro oil, plus I liked the added nutritional value of the fresh cilantro. Yet if the cilantro looked great, I bought extra to freeze to extend the time between shopping trips.
Shrimp, scallops, cod, are all pretty low in mercury. If you just Google fish, either low or high, in mercury you will get numerous lists of which are the safest and least safe fish to eat. Wild salmon is also low in mercury. Wild caught, although more expensive, is always best for any fish.
American College of Medicine describes it as: Grover's disease (transient acantholytic dermatosis) is a condition that appears suddenly as itchy red spots on the trunk, most often in older men. Minor cases of Grover's disease may be rather common. Sometimes the features of Grover's are found in people who do not itch or have a conspicuous rash. I would add that for many, the itch is severe and the condition can greatly lessen your quality of life. For some it is "transient" and resolves in 6 months to a year. But for many it can last for years.
I know what it looks like and am interested in finding a way to lessen symptoms, I am 85 looking for ways to lessen severity and lessen symptoms, itch, red dots, etc.
I've been working in a fish restaurant for the past twenty years. I stopped eating tuna and swordfish about ten years ago, because of mercury, A friend of mine ate sushi almost every day for lunch until the hair on his body started falling off. He found out that it was due to all the tuna he had been eating. My cousin who is in his 80's today had all the fillings in his teeth removed and replaced about 4 years ago. After about 2 years of dormancy, my GD has reappeared, although in a limited way, thank goodness. It's just reminding me how insidious it is !!
I ate lots of tuna and swordfish in the past, now I limit it. Same goes with mussels. Like you nodjabnoj after several years of dormancy I started getting the beginning of a GD outbreak a few months ago and began blending up cilantro again a few times a week on and off for a month. It calmed but I still have a few minor areas so have resumed cilantro about every other day. Insidious yes and let's hope for us the suffering years are behind us.

@nodgabnoj thank you! I will give it a try.
@gardeningjunkie thank you! I will get some cilantro the next timeI go out!
Do you know what fish or seafood has the least heavy metals?
I will text you later today or tomorrow about fish.
