Seafood for dinner tonight
So I made plans to go to Blue Water Grill in NYC way before I knew I was pregnant. I am 5wks4d...I know that I can eat fish, but should I really try not to? I know they have chicken on the menu....but what about scallops and shrimp, those are OK, right? Need help!

Re: Seafood for dinner tonight
My dr told me to just limit the amount of fish I eat that is high in mercury. I've eaten scallops and shrimp as well as flounder. I've also had tunafish. I try to just keep everything in moderation!

Re: Seafood for dinner tonight
the only things you should avoid are "large" fish, because of the very high levels of mercury:
Grouper
Marlin
Orange roughy
Tilefish
Swordfish
Shark
Mackerel (king)
everything ese is fine in moderation. enjoy!

Re: Seafood for dinner tonight
Seafood is good to include in your diet. Shrimp and scallops are great. Just limit the ones with a lot of mercury like tuna, lobster and halibut. I think you're supposed to completely stay away from swordfish, shark, marlin, grouper, tilefish, king mackerel, chilean sea bass and orange roughy.

Enjoy your fish tonight. There are plenty of fish and shellfish that are safe to eat.
