From your link:We don't eat freshwater fish. Rivers and lakes are generally too polluted.
Some of us do, without harm. It is possible for rivers and lakes to not be polluted.

I remember PaleoPhil wrote that he did so somewhere in the USA. Any other?
I friend of mine offered me to bring me a trout from a stream in the Alps. I questioned him and he said those trouts are first farmed and then released free in mountain's streams!
But if I happen to have the opportunity to eat a wild fish from an absolutely pristine freshwater, then I would gladly eat it. I never had such a chance.

Where I am going next year, there is ample opportunity to fish if I had the time or inclination:-
I recall an acquaintance who was one of Austria's keenest hobby-experts on fishing. I once talked to him about a prestigious public school near an important UK town and he immediately chose to rave instead about the nearby Itchen river, which is supposed to be an absolute haven/paradise for anglers, everything he mentioned related to fishing in some way. I love that kind of dedication, it makes for a more interesting person, even if I personally find fishing to be rather dull. Oh, and a relative of mine even once knew a friend who was an "animal-whisperer" who worked as a forest-ranger and who would go in for the seemingly-fiendishly-tricky (and very palaeo!) practice of "trout-tickling".
