    Im not sure what would not be safe? Though i make them at home, i have a small can of tuna, cheese, and whole wheat toast with pickles and tomatoes and toast it all in the toaster oven. All i know is to limit your weekly intake of fish.

    FIsh is a food that has pluses and minuses related to pregnancy.  Certain types of fish are a good source of DHA (brain food for growing babies), and some have relatively high mercury content.  Tuna is one that is high in mercury, so you should limit consumption.  I like the Monterey Bay Aquarium's Seafood Watch for info on fish and shellfish.

    ETA - Limiting consumption doesn't mean avoiding it altogether.  Enjoy in moderation.
