Pregnant women an young children aren't supposed to have shark, swordfish, tilefish, or mackerel precisely because mercury is dangerous for fetuses and young children (like I said in my post above). Shrimp, light tuna, catfish (ew), and salmon (my favorite) all have little to no mercury. The younger and smaller the fish, the less likely it is to have mercury.

Was this after 1999?
Now I don't know what to believe. I'll contact an endocrinologist through Kaiser so as to avoid all the contradictory online resources.
