Everything that lives in the water has some mercury in it.. it's how much they have is the question. If I remember correctly though, it was Tuna, Sword, Mackerel and Shark, that they warned not to eat much of - or avoid all together for prego moms - and what we shouldn't eat daily.
A prego mom needs to eat fish, the omega-3 fatty acids make your kid's IQ go way the hell up - so if a doctor did tell say that, smack them and get a new doctor.
I grew up on catfish, crappie and striper, so do prego moms in our area. Some parts of the world eat it for every meal. You have to eat like 24 oz of catfish a week to even think of eating too much - that's why they say mix it up, so you can eat it every day if you like.
