Fish is a great diet food as it is high in protein and omega-3-fatty acids and is low in calories and saturated fat.



But some fish are contaminated with high levels of methyl mercury.



Pregnant or nursing mothers should limit their consumption of fish to 12ounces of fish per week.

  1. Crab, sole, cod, catfish and flounder.
  2. Lobster, herring, haddock and gropes.
  3. Salmon, rainbow trout, ocean perch and oysters.
  4. Farm-raised trout scallops and sardines.

The Worst fish that contain highest levels of mercury are –
  1. Shark, tilefish, swordfish and mackerel.
  2. Fresh or frozen tuna contains more mercury then canned tuna.



    And smaller varieties of tuna fish are canned so prefer them.
