Not exactly true, mercury is a cumulative toxin and its rate of excretion can differ largely from person to person.
I've seen a couple pay to access studies (no longer have access to the journal) that showed markers of neurological damage from the mercury content in a mediterranean diet.
We've managed to fuck up the healthiest diet we had with pollution, gg.
Do you remember the quantity of intake though on a daily basis from those reports? My thought is 10-14 pieces of sushi per day (likley not even 7 days a week), not all containing mercury (very minimal amounts in salmon) based on the OP's description of what he likes to eat would not be harmful due to the minimal quantity of intake.

There is not likely 12oz of tuna in that much sushi unless the serving size of the fish is better than anywhere I go!
Be interesting to see multiple different studies. Just don't have the time right now to look and read something in detail.
