I've worked in a few boat harbors, where the water is quite polluted and those and only those fish seem to thrive on engine oil and rusty nuts and bolts. My coworker used to work at a sewage plant. He also refuses to eat Tilapia. I remember a story he told to me about seeing a Tilapia eat a floating piece of feces! 
I know that store bought Tilapia is most likely farm raised so its meat isn't dirty, but you can also farm raise a rat.  |
Well, I don't eat much in the way of seafood anyway, because everyone's toilet flushes into the rivers that all lead to the ocean, but think about shrimp which are bottom feeders aren't they?
And Mississippi catfish are definitely bottom feeders. My dad used to take one our dog's dried feces and put it on a hook, and he'd catch a catfish everytime. I always secretly grimaced when I'd watch my mom eat catfish, which she loved!
