When it comes to eating fish, there are portions that one must stick to in order to steer away
from health related issues. One needs to eat more of omega-3 enriched fish, that is, oily fish,
more often, although there is a portions limit. Girls and women who are expecting to have
babies in the future, or those who are already pregnant/breastfeeding, can have two portions
(twice a week) of oily fish, which is approximately 140 g a portion. Those girls and women who
aren't expecting to have kids in the future, can incorporate four portions of oily fish in their diet
(four times a week); the same applies for men/boys.
The Mercury Content in Fish
Mercury is a poisonous and toxic element, that is found in fish. Too much of it causes damage to
one's system over time, especially to those who are pregnant/breastfeeding since it can damage
the fetus/baby. Women who are pregnant, as well as toddlers, can eat 2 - 3 servings of fish a
week, which is not more than two ounces, of low mercury content fish. Pregnant women/small
children should stay clear from moderate mercury content fish.

Three servings/less per month of high mercury fish is sufficient, but pregnant women/small kids
cannot eat these, while others can. Here we list out the types of edible fish that you need to go
easy on in terms of mercury content, along with other kinds of fish that are safe to eat often.
Keep in mind, that fish with way too much mercury in it, has to be absolutely avoided. These fish
are not edible, and do not come under the safe fish to eat.

toxins from a fish that is high in mercury. Alternate fish types according to mercury levels, and
learn how to eat fish the safe way.
