Of course, I live on the great lakes and my family eats a lots of fish... It probably doesn't matter for me but not sure what to feed my little sister now, especially considering what you said about half-life. Attempts at guidelines keep waving around "moderation" in response to mixed messages from research, but even if by coincidence the effects are ∩ shaped and not linear I doubt vague ideas about moderation are going to hit approximately optimal.

Cross fingers and hope the good list is accurate, I guess?

A list of cheaper oily fish with negligible PCBs and mercury

The problem is that fish contamination critically depends on where that fish lived. This means that just a list of fish species isn't very useful, you need to know where that fish was caught and I'm not sure that information is easily available.
