Halibut
Halibut is a delicious fish but has a moderate mercury level, landing it on the FDA's 'good choice' list. Enjoy it, but stick to about one serving per week.
1 serving (4oz) per week
Halibut is nutritious and contains beneficial omega-3s, but its mercury content is higher than best-choice fish like salmon or tilapia. The FDA recommends nursing mothers limit it to one serving (4oz) per week. It's still a healthy option — just not an everyday one.
Always confirm with your doctor or lactation consultant before making dietary changes while breastfeeding.
