Do not eat shark, swordfish, king mackerel, or tilefish, because they contain high levels of mercury.
Eat up to 12 oz (two average meals) a week of a variety of fish and shellfish that are lower in mercury.
	Five of the most commonly eaten fish that are low in mercury are shrimp, canned light tuna, salmon, Pollock, and catfish.
	Another commonly eaten fish, albacore (“white”) tuna has more mercury than canned light tuna. Albacore tuna should be limited to no more than 6 oz (one average meal) per week.
Check local advisories about the safety of fish caught by family and friends in your local lakes, rivers, and coastal areas. If no advice is available, eat up to 6 oz (one average meal) per week of fish you catch from local waters but don’t consume any other fish during that week.
Follow these same recommendations when feeding fish and shellfish to children, but serve smaller portions.
