California Roll

California rolls are a great choice while breastfeeding! They're made with cooked imitation crab (or real cooked crab), avocado, and cucumber — no raw fish involved.

California rolls are one of the most breastfeeding-friendly sushi options because they contain no raw fish. Imitation crab is cooked surimi (usually pollock), which is a low-mercury fish. Avocado adds healthy fats, and the overall mercury exposure is minimal. Eat and enjoy!
