Yes: The healthiest people in the world eat a lot of fish. The benefits of dha on fetal brain development was actually observed in women who ate a lot of fish. There has never been any reported case of mercury poisoning from too much fish consumption in the United States.

Within limits: You should limit your intake of the large saltwater fish to one serving per week due to the possibility of accumulating mercury.
