Two portions weekly, including one oily fish: variety balances nutrition and reduces repeated exposure to contaminants.

General information, not an individual diagnosis. Ask a healthcare professional if you are unsure about your situation.

The general guideline is two portions of fish weekly, including one oily fish.

Sardines, mackerel, herring and salmon are examples of oily fish.

Vary species and origins: nutrient and contaminant levels differ.

For adults, Ameli describes a portion as about 100 grams.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding require additional precautions for certain species: consult the specific guidance.

Before shopping, note the fish you have already eaten and plan another species for variety.
