A member asked:
What kind of fish can pregnant women eat?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Most: Avoid shark, tilefish, swordfish, orange roughy, an ahi tuna as they have the highest mercury levels. Yellow fin and albacore tuna are ok in moderation, as is sea bass and mackerel. Make sure your fish is cooked. Check this website out: http://americanpregnancy.Org/pregnancyhealth/fishmercury.Htm.
