It's fairly well established that mercury isn't a concern with fish oil supplements (in the US at least) -- see earlier threads on this site. I'm not so sure about PCBs, dioxins, etc. My guess is that these might pose a greater risk, but exposure to these chemicals is almost unavoidable anyway. All in all, the weight of evidence suggests that fish oil supplements are beneficial.
