A member asked:
Can you eat walleye when your pregnant? from a minnesota lake.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes but limit: You can, but limit the quantity due to the possible mercury and lead present in the fish. Consumption once every 2-3 weeks should be fine. But remember the larger the fish(wt) the more possible contamination. I assume you are from MN, and I would not suggest Lutefisk either. Just kidding about the lutefisk
