Oysters usually come from the most polluted sources though. Salmon is usually farmed in similarly horrible estuaries. The most common seafood is probably canned "tuna" which like you said is high up the food chain.

Only deenz are safe and you still need to check where they're sourced from.

My understanding of aquaculture, salmon are too big and their feeding needs too steep for indoor systems. Unless it's spear caught or you fished it yourself, you should buy whatever is local from a known sustainable fishery. While farmed salmon is sustainable there are many legitimate concerns about the health of the animal and whether it's just as destructive to the environment as land based concentrated farming.

I usually just buy catfish, tilapia, and sardines. Fresh spiny lobster, swordfish, and yellowtail are probably what I miss the most from the Caribbean. Still don't miss it enough to live in Florida though.
