Top 15 Contaminated Fish You Shouldn't be Eating:
What's the USDA recommendation for Mercury intake?
If you eat some of these fish, you will exceed safe levels if you eat it more than once every couple weeks. Sharks and swordfish I new about, but others in the list are a real eye-opener.
Biomagnification is where toxic chemicals such as mercury build up more and more as it moves up the food chain (to humans).
This is a really good article with lots of good information on sustainability and safe eating levels of fish.
Maybe salmon will move up on many people's list. Sustainable, wild would be best, of course.
