Dear Rajkonna,

There is absolutely no pollution whatsoever reported in Bahrain, i have been buying fresh fish from the Central Market / Lulu / Geant and we have no issues, regarding toxic chemicals / heavy metals this is again false, but be advised that there are some fish like tuna (which naturally contain some chemical like mercury).

good luck!

I too have been consuming fish since my arrival in Bahrain and have not seen or felt any problems/complications.

You should be reasonably safe.
