Shellfish are low in mercury as long as they're cooked. I eat fish 3-4 times a week and I'm from the mid-Atlantic so crabs are a must for my summer meals.

Answer

I’ve eaten a lot of shrimp this pregnancy but I get the precooked kind and then I use it in a recipe and it gets cooked again. I haven’t had any shellfish but my doctor said to just limit the amount of anything like that to once a week
