What's safe to eat?

Eat a variety of seafood that's low in mercury and high in omega-3 fatty acids, such as:

  • Salmon
  • Anchovies
  • Herring
  • Sardines
  • Trout
  • Atlantic and Pacific mackerel

Other safe choices include shrimp, pollock and catfish. However, limit albacore tuna and tuna steak to no more than 6 ounces (170 grams) a week. Also, be aware that while canned light tuna on average appears safe, some testing has shown that mercury levels can vary from can to can. Large, predatory fish such as shark, swordfish, king mackerel and tilefish, can contain high levels of mercury. Mayo Clinic

YAY SHRIMP! I always forget what's safe and I'm so in love with shrimp right now. Yummy!
