Healthy Fish Guide
Eat Fish, Be Smart, Choose Wisely

This guide is for everyone - especially women who might become pregnant, are pregnant, are nursing, or young children. The fish in the green column are great choices so enjoy!  If you choose fish from the yellow column enjoy and eat only once a week and do not eat any other fish meals that week.  The red column are fish that should be avoided by women who might become pregnant, are pregnant, are nursing, or young children.  Our toxicologists have created the Healthy Fish Guide and a checklist to keep your exposure to contaminants like mercury and PCBs low and to help you gain the health benefits that you get from eating fish.
