Snapper
Red snapper has a moderate mercury level, placing it in the FDA's 'good choice' category for breastfeeding. Fine for one serving a week, but don't make it your daily fish.
1 serving (4oz) per week
Snapper, particularly red snapper, has moderate mercury levels. The FDA recommends limiting it to one serving (4oz) per week while breastfeeding. It's a flavorful, lean fish worth enjoying in moderation — just rotate it with lower-mercury choices.
Always confirm with your doctor or lactation consultant before making dietary changes while breastfeeding.
