Wild salmon,sardines: Tuna is one of the fish with relatively high levels of mercury but many fish are high in omega 3's ; low in mercury including salmon and sardines; avoid farmed salmon due to pcb's. Or you can take fish oil capsules- make sure it is purified to remove mercury and ideally esterified to improve absorption. Flax and hempseed oil are also good.

See details: Studies have conclusively shown that mercury levels in fish are too low to cause any issues in humans.
