Pregnancy guidance
LimitCarp is categorized by the FDA and EPA as a Good Choice fish that should be limited during pregnancy. It supplies protein, vitamin D, and omega-3 fatty acids, but it carries moderate levels of mercury and can accumulate local freshwater contaminants. Eat no more than one four-ounce serving per week, and verify state fish advisories if the carp is caught by family or friends. Cook carp to an internal temperature of 145°F until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
