But I don't eat tuna or swordfish very much. Luckily I loooove salmon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-limit-the-amount-of-fish-you-eat#post-2002829 Tue, 30 Dec 2014 15:15:17 +0000 ineebee 2002829@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I eat it as often as I feel like buying/making it, which ends up being no more than once a week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-limit-the-amount-of-fish-you-eat#post-2002593 Tue, 30 Dec 2014 13:29:08 +0000 chopsuey 2002593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. I eat as much as I want as often as I want.<br /> Haven't had fish in forever though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-limit-the-amount-of-fish-you-eat#post-2002577 Tue, 30 Dec 2014 13:17:58 +0000 lamariniere 2002577@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, but due to circumstances. I live in a landlocked country so fish (even from rivers and lakes) is not a big part of the diet here. Fresh fish is hard to find and SO expensive. The last time we bought a pound of fish it was about €15. Otherwise I would eat it at least 2-3 times per week! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-limit-the-amount-of-fish-you-eat#post-2002574 Tue, 30 Dec 2014 13:16:27 +0000 yellowbird 2002574@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't really like fish! I will eat crab or shrimp very occasionally but I just can't stomach the taste of most fish </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-limit-the-amount-of-fish-you-eat#post-2002564 Tue, 30 Dec 2014 13:11:07 +0000 sarac 2002564@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm too picky to eat fish, I wish I did. If I did, I wouldn't limit the low and medium mercury species. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-limit-the-amount-of-fish-you-eat#post-2002532 Tue, 30 Dec 2014 12:49:57 +0000 mrsjyw 2002532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, only when pregnant though :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-limit-the-amount-of-fish-you-eat#post-2002488 Tue, 30 Dec 2014 12:30:11 +0000 Meowkers 2002488@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm currently pregnant so right now I do limit the amount of fish I'm eating. But normally, I eat a ton of seafood and don't limit it at all. That being said, tuna is really the only large fish I tend to eat. Other high mercury fishes like swordfish or shark are not something that I normally eat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-limit-the-amount-of-fish-you-eat#post-2002451 Tue, 30 Dec 2014 11:59:43 +0000 yoursilverlining 2002451@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't limit the amount of fish (or seafood generally) we eat - and we eat some sort of fish or seafood easily 4x a week, sometimes more. I do watch how much high-mercury fish we eat, but honestly, I'm not that concerned about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-limit-the-amount-of-fish-you-eat#post-2002447 Tue, 30 Dec 2014 11:57:34 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2002447@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't limit fish at all. Unless you are eating all high mercury fish all the time (swordfish, shark, ahi tuna, grouper, sea bass etc), there really isn't any issue, IMO. Salmon, tilapia, shrimp, tuna (canned light), cod, etc are all really low mercury fish. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-limit-the-amount-of-fish-you-eat#post-2002446 Tue, 30 Dec 2014 11:57:17 +0000 mediagirl 2002446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. We hardly eat fish at all and I really want to add more to our diet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-limit-the-amount-of-fish-you-eat#post-2002445 Tue, 30 Dec 2014 11:57:14 +0000 Corduroy 2002445@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No limit, I'm trying to eat more. I check mercury levels on unfamiliar fish. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-limit-the-amount-of-fish-you-eat#post-2002444 Tue, 30 Dec 2014 11:56:51 +0000 Shutterbug 2002444@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! Well, I limit the amount of high mercury fish (swordfish, etc). I just came back from the Caribbean and all I ate was fish for a week. Yummmm </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-limit-the-amount-of-fish-you-eat#post-2002437 Tue, 30 Dec 2014 11:53:50 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2002437@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: yes to the added coloring. I don't understand!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-limit-the-amount-of-fish-you-eat#post-2002420 Tue, 30 Dec 2014 11:44:19 +0000 Greentea 2002420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: as long as you are eating low merc fish you can eat it everyday IMO. People live longest in countries like Japan, right :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-limit-the-amount-of-fish-you-eat#post-2002419 Tue, 30 Dec 2014 11:43:43 +0000 looch 2002419@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I try not to eat certain types of fish ( i think there are some which are higher in mercury than others, but I don't have a link handy at the moment). What also concerns me is when fish has coloring added...why? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-limit-the-amount-of-fish-you-eat#post-2002396 Tue, 30 Dec 2014 11:34:10 +0000 mrbee 2002396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been eating a lot of fish lately. There's a lot of conflicting literature on how much fish is OK to eat, b/c of mercury... I feel like the recommendations are so conservative though! You're only supposed to have fish twice a week? That seems crazy to me. But mercury isn't exactly a health food supplement.</p> <p>Do you limit the amount of fish you eat? </p>
