Pregnancy guidance

Limit

Sea bass is classified by the FDA and EPA as a fish to limit during pregnancy. It offers valuable protein and vitamin D, but species like Chilean sea bass accumulate moderate to high levels of mercury. The FDA advises eating no more than one four-ounce serving per week of Good Choice sea bass, while avoiding other fish that week. Ensure the fillet is thoroughly cooked to 145°F before serving with steamed vegetables.
