Sushi?!

Question

I know the general rule that having cooked sushi is fine but my favorite kinds of rolls are spicy crunchy tuna. I'm meeting a friend for sushi tomorrow and I was just curious to know if I could get the spicy crunchy tuna? I know tuna is okay to eat every now and then but don't want to chance it if I really shouldn't. Help?!

Answer

I have a really good article about eating sushi, it is fantastic. Copy and paste it. I ate even raw salmon sashimi throughout this whole pregnancy.

Answer

The tuna used to make spicy crunchy tuna rolls is raw. So, no.... Pregnant women shouldn't eat them. Which is really unfortunate because I have been craving them too for several weeks! However, cooked tuna is fine but no more than 12 ounces per week

Answer

Raw is fine. It isn't a listeria or toxoplasmosis risk and all fish in the US is frozen first and thus very safe.

Answer

I was told the only reason that they say to be careful eating fish is because of mercury levels so I would assume it would be ok as long as you don't gorge yourself on it.
