The best and worst fish to eat: A guide to maximizing benefits while minimizing toxins
Wild-caught salmon, sardines, anchovies, herring, cod and haddock are rich in omega-3s, vitamins and minerals while being low in toxins like mercury.

Pregnant women should eat 2-3 servings per week of low-toxin, omega-3-rich fish (wild salmon, sardines, herring) while avoiding large fish and farmed seafood due to contamination risks.
