For the "can I eat it" question, refer to the MOE consumption advisory map/tables: http://www.ontario.ca/environment-and-en...sport-fish Each size class of each included species in a given water body is rated from 0 to 8, 0 being most contaminated and 8 being safest (in theory the ratings are the number of meals per month you should eat of the fish). For the Thousand Islands section of the St. Lawrence River, the tables are here: http://www.ontario.ca/environment-and-en...d=44207600

So, glancing at that, as an adult male (general population) you could eat just about everything except big channel cats and record-pushing walleye, and don't go overboard on big carp either. Children and women of childbearing age (sensitive population) should avoid big pike and walleye and really big bass. As with any fishery, the smaller fish (within a species) are safer than the larger ones.
