Anu Simh breaks down which fish are safe to eat and which ones carry high mercury levels, especially for babies. Tuna and other large deep-water fish have more mercury. Wild-caught salmon is better than farm-raised, and mixing fish into dressings helps if you find the flavor too strong.

I think that fish is a big fear factor for a lot of people. They've heard about mercury. They were concerned about the baby's health. You have to see where it's being sourced from. We are all about wild caught salmon. I do not love farm raised salmon. There are certain higher mercury level fish that we definitely want them to limit. And tuna is a big one. Tuna is a lot of people's favorite. You have to be careful about. If it's a really deep fish, a lot of times it can have a higher mercury level. So you kind of stick to smash. Smash is best. And where if they can incorporate those foods into different things. If you mix it into a salad dressing or something, even if you don't like that stronger fish flavor, you can do that as well.
