The American Heart Association recommends you consume fatty fish, like canned salmon, at least twice a week to lower your heart disease risk, with each serving consisting of 4 ounces of fish.
1 Smoked salmon is considered safe to eat in pregnancy, as the curing process destroys listeria bacteria. 2  However, if it hasn't been completely cured or frozen before you eat it, listeria bacteria may remain. 3  So if you choose to eat smoked salmon, make sure it is from a trusted source, such as a supermarket. So limit how much you eat of these fish to two portions a week. 2  Don't eat shark, swordfish and marlin, as these fish contain unsafe levels of mercury. 3  Tuna contains some mercury, too, so don't eat more than four medium-sized cans, or two fresh tuna steaks, a week. 4  Limit your caffeine intake to 200mg a day.
