> Do you remember something in the news a couple of weeks ago about people having terrible problems from eating salmon (from farms? I don't remember). Anyway, now I have it in the back of my mind that it's not good to eat salmon-- or swordfish--or tuna.
I don't know what you read, but salmon are generally much safer to eat than tuna or swordfish. Farmed salmon can be contaminated because the feed can be contaminated, by industrial processing.
Mercury is a pretty good marker for all sorts of contamination. If you decrease mercury risk, you decrease the others as well.
Here's a pretty good summary of mercury risk by type of fish:
