Does eel sauce have mercury or anything else harmful for pregnancy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Avoid large fish: Fish consumption during pregnancy should be no more than twice a week. Avoid large fish such as shark, swordfish, large tuna, eel etc due to risk of mercury contamination. Consume small fish such as chunk light tuna, salmon, etc. If you have consumed eel sauce just a few times-do not worry.
