Mahi Mahi

Mahi mahi is tasty and nutritious, but its moderate mercury content puts it in the 'good choice' category — fine once a week, not an everyday fish while breastfeeding.

1 serving (4oz) per week
The FDA lists mahi mahi as a 'good choice' for nursing mothers, meaning it's safe but with moderate mercury. One serving (4oz) per week is the guideline. It's a lean fish with some omega-3 content, so it's worth including in rotation — just not as your primary seafood.
