First, you are to not exceed three 1000 mg gel caps per day of fish oil or flaxseed oil caps. Not six. Second, yes you can get Mercury poisoning IF the capsules are contaminated. This is more likely if you purchase cheap, lower quality, generic brand capsules instead of a Name Brand product. It's just a buyer beware, Russian Roulette type of thing.

Yes they can from eating fish
In some places in the world, mercury is pumped into the ocean as a byproduct of industry. This mercury is then consumed by fish, poisoning the fish. The fish are caught by fishermen and consumed by people, creating a wide range of problems due to the toxic nature of mercury.
In some cases the consumption of fish has been led to Mercury Poisoning. Mercury is present in many types of ocean dwelling fish, and while present is generally not harmful (unless consumed in large quantities) to the individual ingesting the fish.
When mercury levels get too high in water, fish and other water life can accumulate the mercury in their tissues. Consuming these contaminated organisms can lead to mercury poisoning in animals higher up in the food chain, including humans. High levels of mercury can harm the nervous system, impair reproduction, and have other adverse health effects in aquatic organisms.
