Tempura Roll

Tempura rolls are fully cooked and completely safe while breastfeeding! Shrimp tempura is especially great — shrimp is one of the lowest-mercury seafoods available.

Tempura refers to ingredients battered and deep-fried, so everything inside is fully cooked. Shrimp is among the safest, lowest-mercury seafood choices the FDA recommends. Tempura rolls are a great option if you're newly postpartum and still building confidence eating sushi again.
