Seafood can be healthy, but limit high-mercury fish like shark, swordfish, king mackerel, and Gulf tilefish, and avoid raw shellfish when possible.
Some seafood also raises environmental concerns due to overfishing and unsustainable farming practices.
Choose responsibly sourced options like wild Alaskan salmon, U.S.-farmed trout, catfish, mussels, and oysters.
If you skip seafood, try protein-rich alternatives such as beans, lentils, quinoa, tofu, and eggs.
