Growing up in the 60's and 70's I remember we were never supposed to eat
fish from the Mississippi more than once a week, and even that seemed
too often. Contrary to what the media would like you to believe, the
environment is much cleaner now and I don't know of any restriction
anymore. But there are still a few lakes with too much runoff from farms
that I wouldn't eat the fish from.

But none of that should be a concern if you're buying from a market.
Then you just have to have a whole lot of trust in the supply chain.
