While fish is incredibly healthy, doctors recommend consuming it in moderation. Some varieties may contain small amounts of mercury, especially large predatory fish.

Safe weekly intake usually includes:

• Salmon

• Sardines

• Trout

• Tilapia

• Cod

• Light tuna (in moderation)

Eating a variety of fish reduces potential risks while preserving all the benefits.

How Much Fish Should You Eat?

Many health professionals suggest eating fish 1–3 times per week as part of a balanced diet. This amount provides nutritional benefits without excess exposure to heavy metals.

Grilled, baked, or steamed fish is recommended over fried options to keep meals light and healthy.
