They are stable elements that cannot be metabolized by the body and get passed up in the food chain to human beings (bio-accumulate). The most common and harmful heavy metals are Aluminum Arsenic Cadmium Copper Lead Mercury and Nickel. There are many more existing heavy metals that are not as prevalent or as harmful as the previously noted elements.

How much omega-3 can be obtained from fresh water lake fish, if any?

Iceland Health: FAQ's and Search the Site
Freshwater fish can be a useful source of the long chain omega-3 polyunsaturates, but the amount is very variable, depending on conditions. The amount depends on the type of plankton and microscopic plants found in the water in which the fish are reared. Tropical areas often have different organisms to those found in more temperate areas and, as a result, can have low omega-3 levels. If the fish are farmed, the type of food they are fed will have a big influence.

Will I be able to eat plenty of cheap fresh fish?

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions about Crete
NO! Fish is not cheap because their isn't plenty of it in the overfished Mediterranean sea. Prices of eating fresh fish range from reasonable to expensive. Plenty of frozen fish from the Atlantic though. This reminds me of the fact that restaurants MUST display by law if any item in a dish is frozen, and if they don't and are caught they'll end up paying a BIG fine.
