How many times a week is it safe to eat fish?
I heard that you can get mercury poisoning.
Answers:
Depends on the fish and where it is from. Generally large fish from the ocean have a large amount of mercury in them since they accumulate it from eating little fish. Smaller ocean fish, or most freshwater fish will generally not be a problem, and large fish are only a threat in very large quantities.
Only from deep water, wild caught fish. Not fresh water or farmed fish. But limit those wild, oily, deep water fish and have plenty of fresh or farm raised.
Unless you are pregnant, I really wouldnt be concerned about the mercury levels in fish. When you are pregnant, I have heard to limit certain fish to about 3 per week.

You can get mercury poisoning also from the tooth fillings. Some fishes has more mercury than others. I would say two times a week would be OK.
