What Fish Should Pregnant Women Eat?

While I  recommend cold-water, oily fish for its beneficial omega-3 fatty 
acids, women  who are pregnant should be wary of certain types of fish. Those 
types more  likely to be contaminated with toxins such as mercury, dioxin and  
polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) should be avoided or limited, as they can harm  
developing nervous systems. Non-toxic fish rich in omega-3s (which can help 
with  cognitive and visual development) can be eaten more often. Follow these  
guidelines: 
    *   Avoid all fish with high mercury levels: shark, tilefish, king 
mackerel,  and swordfish.  
    *   Eat sparingly these fish: farmed salmon (4-6 ounces per month) and 
tuna  (avoid tuna steaks, and consume no more than 6 ounces of canned tuna per  
week).  
    *   Eat frequently: wild Alaskan salmon and sardines, 2-3 times per week.
