The bug or the fish?: I suspect the answer is an enthusiastic yes. http://www.ewg.org/research/ewgs-good-seafood-guide?gclid=CjwKEAjw0KK4BRDCiKHD5Ny8pHESJACLE620OF6B4kv2Vv5_LtynwcHDKdl91kR2VkEelWoDaPbw4xoCmwTw_wcB cites several silver fishes (mackeral, sardines) as especially good. Fish that eat fish (they are BIG and LONG LIVED) could have the most mercury accumulate.

Too much Mercury.: Apparently Silver fish has a very high Mercury content, and should be avoided completely while pregnant.
