   Years ago I was in Tijuana. A street vendor was selling clam cocktails. He   
   would shuck a couple of big clams into a wax paper Coke cup, add a dollop   
   of hot sauce, and squeeze in the juice of half a lemon. Delicious! I knew   
   full well the clams were fattened on only the finest San Diego sewage.   
      
   I never had a problem with Mexican street food of the aquas fresca the   
   street people sell. I did have a meal from a Tucson Panda Express go   
   through me like an express train. Makes you wonder...   
      
   I don't knw if they've given up but Arizona stocked tilapia in the CAP   
   canal to control algae. The locals broke out their fishing poles. I think   
   the tilapia were replaced by Wite Amur, carp, and apparently catfish.

   fwiw, it's illegal to fish the canal and much of it is fenced.
