- The American Heart Association recommends eating fish (particularly fatty fish such as mackerel, lake trout, herring, sardines, albacore tuna, and salmon) at least 2 times per week
- Pregnant women and mothers, nursing mothers, young children, and women who might become pregnant should not eat several types of fish, including swordfish, shark, and king mackerel
- These individuals should also limit consumption of other fish, including albacore tuna, salmon and herring
- They can take Omega-3 fatty acids in quality dietary supplements that are certified mercury-free by a reputable third-party lab (also called molecularly distilled)
