I eat all fish in small amounts because of you really think about it seafood is seen as taboo in the US.  However if it is recommended to take fish oil pills during pregnancy why not just eat small amounts of fish in moderation because the omega3 fatty acids are good for brain developments

The FDA in America now says no not at all bc besides the mercury theres other harmful elements. However I still stick to the 1 8oz serving per week rule.
