Fish for Dinner?

I'm really craving a tuna fish salad sandwich tonight. I had a 6oz portion of tilapia this past Friday (1/17). Do you think it's ok to have tuna tonight or should I wait a few more days?

Sorry if this question seems silly, I barely ever have fish.

Thanks for all of your help! :)

  • Eat the tuna salad Sandwhich. Put lettuce on it and mix in pickles. This is the BEST way to enjoy! :)
  • In my expert opinion (okay, not really, but I like to pretend this is why you've consulted me in particular :) ), as long as you aren't eating tuna every day, you're fine.

    Tuna is not low in mercury. But one serving of that and one of tilapia is not going to hurt anything.

    All info I read is that canned chunk light tuna is low (which I assumed she would have used for a tuna salad sandwich), regular is not
    Depends on what kind of canned -- some canned is lighter in mercury. From Consumer Reports:
    "Canned tuna, Americans’ favorite fish, is the most common source of mercury in our diet. New tests of 42 samples from cans and pouches of tuna bought primarily in the New York metropolitan area and online confirm that white (albacore) tuna usually contains far more mercury than light tuna."

    Again, which is not to say this sandwich is dangerous. I just didn't want anyone seeing that blanket statement and then eating 6 oz. of tuna steak every night for the next two weeks. 

    Mercury in tuna varies, but in general, it is NOT low mercury.

  • My doc said that here in the Midwest, basically all fish is fine but actually to avoid organic or free range fish. He advised me to eat it 3x per week for the omega 3s.
  • None of you had tuna last night? I am so disappointed.
