Mercury Safe Seafood Pregnancy
Mercury safe seafood pregnancy picks salmon, sardines, and trout—avoid high-mercury swordfish and shark; cook thoroughly and follow local fish advisories.
Mercury safe seafood pregnancy choices favor salmon, sardines, trout, anchovies, and light canned tuna per local advisories—limit or avoid high-mercury swordfish, shark, king mackerel, and bigeye tuna. Cook seafood thoroughly; raw sushi waits until postpartum unless clinician says otherwise.
Two to three low-mercury servings weekly support DHA while keeping methylmercury low.
Common questions
-
Can you eat sushi while pregnant?
Most obstetric guidance recommends fully cooked fish during pregnancy because of bacteria and parasite risk, separate from mercury. Ask your clinician about local standards if considering raw fish.
