"Safe" fish to eat FREQUENTLY during pregnancy?
Is there any fish that has no or almost no mercury? I'm trying to find something to add to my weekly meals. I'd like something that is totally safe to eat around 3x per week. Thanks!

Re: "Safe" fish to eat FREQUENTLY during pregnancy?
Pick fish that are small and low on the food chain - like sardines, shortneck clams, canned oysters. Even small scallops would be fine.
You have plenty of options just remember to eat fish that other fish eat and stay away from the bigger ones, like tuna and swordfish.
Here's a good list:
