I know up here in the Santa Monica Bay, the resident fish (primarily bottom fish) over the years have been tested by fisheries biologists and all have tested positive for all kinds of pollutants/poisons etc..
I remember as a deckhand filleting halibut for passengers and seeing worms in the 'meat' of the fish (safe to eat as long as the fish is 'thoroughly' cooked).
Migratory fish like barracuda sand bass etc. are safer because they don't reside inshore all year round.
Just my observations over the years and conversations with fisheries surveyors I see every now and again.
