Many people do. I limit myself to 2 meals a year if that.
Most lakes in the US now have some kind of advisory about pollutants building up in fish and that you should limit your intake. Pregnant and nursing women should forgo any fish from a water with an advisory.
There are ways to reduce the amount in the fish you choose to eat.
Small fish, the smaller the fish the less time it has spent in the water and the fewer other fish it has eaten. (fish eating other fish causes the contaminants from the eaten fish to be stored in the fatty tissue of the eating fish.
Cut away the belly meat of the fish, this fatty area will hold more contaminates.
Like I said, twice a year, maybe.
