I'm more worried about the plastic, pesticides, degraded pharmaceuticals and heavy metals myself
Yes, including... freshwater fish! https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/jan/18/freshwater-fish-contaminated-forever-chemicals

JFC, I keep track on the PFAS situation but I've missed this. I have friends who fish and eat from Ontario.
PFAS chemicals should really be what we're worrying about. They never break down, they're highly carcinogenic, and they're used in a lot of plastics.
