Seafood is a great source of nutrients like omega-3 and protein.

DO NOT eat shark, swordfish,king mackerel or tilefish as these contain the highest levels of methyl Mercury.

DO NOT eat fish caught by family or friends, stick to commercial fish.

Avoid RAW fish or under-cooked fish

Accoring to guidelines released by the FDA, crawfish contain one of the lowest levels of mercury among all types of fish and pregnant women can safely enjoy up to two 6-oz servings per week.

I have read rock lobster is safe, Maine/American lobster is high in mercury, so not safe. Crayfish are safe. Got this info from the American Pregnancy Association.
