I know fish has its laundry list of benefits, but surely consuming a large amount can have detrimental effects due to mercury, microplastics and PCBs, yet it doesn’t seem to affect blue zones like Okinawa where their citizens outlive most other nations (with a large amount of centenarians) and consume large amounts of fish.

I used to live in Japan. A few things granny in Japan did, that granny in US cannot do:
Sit on the floor while watching TV & entertaining guests
Walk to the grocery store, taking a rolling tote with her
Drinking green tea every day (until the caffeine became too much)
Eating very small portions (extremely small portions of fish too, by the way)
No red meat, semi-vegetarian diet
LOADS of veggies
Rarely eats bread. Eats rice daily.
Soaking in a hot bath up to her neck most nights
Meditating
