Fish advice for pregnancy, breastfeeding and children

On FDA and EPA's fish chart: Crab: Best Choice.

FDA and EPA advise people who are or may become pregnant, people who are breastfeeding, and parents of children 1 to 11:

  • Pregnant or breastfeeding: 2 to 3 servings a week from the Best Choices list, or 1 serving a week from the Good Choices list. A serving is 4 ounces.
  • Children: 2 servings a week from the Best Choices list. A serving is about 1 ounce at ages 1 to 3, 2 ounces at 4 to 7, 3 ounces at 8 to 10, and 4 ounces at 11.

By the week

EPA's daily limit for methylmercury adds up to about 49 µg a week for a 154-lb adult and 10.5 µg for a 33-lb toddler. A daily limit is an average over time, so one fish meal counts across the whole week.

  • At FDA's average for rice, white, enriched, cooked; salmon, steaks/fillets, baked; shrimp, pre-cooked, shells removed, no tails; tuna, canned in water, drained solids (17.2 ppb, 84 samples, 2017-2020; not a test of this product): more than 20 servings of 4 ounces a week reach EPA's limit for a 154-lb adult; more than 20 servings of 1 ounce for a 33-lb toddler.
