I would be concerned that they could make you quite ill. When you think about it, the environment fish are raised in is not controlled. They live mostly in polluted water with parasites, bacteria, etc.

The other problem is that the fish are typically treated with medicines that contain known human carcinogens.

So, no, I do not think it's safe.
