Many health organizations, including the American Heart Association, recommend a minimum of two servings of fish each week, particularly fatty fish such as salmon, mackerel, and sardines, which are high in omega-3 fatty acids (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.heart.org\/en\/healthy-living\/healthy-eating\/eat-smart\/fats\/fish-and-omega-3-fatty-acids\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, some types of fish contain higher levels of mercury, and this can be harmful if consumed in large quantities. These include shark, swordfish, king mackerel, and tilefish. Pregnant women and young children should avoid these types of fish and limit their consumption of other fish to avoid any potential risk (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fda.gov\/media\/102331\/download?attachment\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). You should check FDA and local guidelines for eating fish to limit mercury exposure.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It&#8217;s also important to consider the sustainability of the fish you consume. Overfishing and destructive fishing practices have resulted in the depletion of many fish populations. Opting for sustainably caught or farmed fish can help protect the biodiversity of our oceans.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While eating fish every day can be part of a healthy diet, it&#8217;s important to balance this with a variety of other protein sources and consider factors such as mercury content and sustainability.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Whether you\u2019re looking to simply pep up your fitness routine, jazz up your diet with mouth-watering low-calorie recipes or want to get your act together and significantly drop that number on your scale \u2013 BetterMe app has got you covered! <a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/en\/first-page-generated-gender?flow=2196&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=types_of_fish_to_eat\">Improve your body and revamp your life with us<\/a>!<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_Asked_Questions\"><\/span><b>Frequently Asked Questions<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_fish_is_highest_in_protein\"><\/span><b>Which fish is highest in protein?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tuna, particularly bluefin, stands out as having the highest protein content.

It&#8217;s an excellent choice for those who are looking to increase their protein intake. However, it\u2019s important to remember that larger species such as bluefin can contain higher levels of mercury, so consumption should be moderated. All fish are high in protein, so you should choose according to your preferences.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_most_unhealthy_fish\"><\/span><b>What is the most unhealthy fish?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While all fish have nutritional benefits, some pose potential health risks due to high levels of contaminants such as mercury. Large predatory fish such as shark, king mackerel, and swordfish tend to have the highest levels of mercury as they consume smaller fish that absorb mercury through seawater and food.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The regular consumption of these types of fish can cause mercury poisoning.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_types_of_fish_can_I_eat_while_pregnant\"><\/span><b>What types of fish can I eat while pregnant?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pregnant women can benefit from the omega-3 fatty acids that are found in fish, as they help with the development of the baby&#8217;s brain and eyes. However, it&#8217;s important to choose fish that is low in mercury.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The best choices are salmon, sardines, freshwater trout, and Atlantic and Pacific chub mackerel. Shrimp, canned light tuna, catfish, pollock, and crab are also low in mercury.

Use a food thermometer to ensure the fish reaches the correct internal temperature\u2014145 degrees Fahrenheit\u2014to ensure any potentially harmful bacteria are killed. You should also avoid pairing fish with overpowering sauces or seasonings, as they can mask the delicate flavor of the fish.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, if you&#8217;re pan-frying or grilling, you should avoid moving the fish around too much as this can cause it to break apart. Finally, when buying fish, freshness is key. Always avoid fish that has a strong, fishy odor, as this is often a sign that it is not fresh.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Bottom_Line\"><\/span><b>The Bottom Line\u00a0<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Incorporating a variety of fish in your diet can provide several health benefits.
