How much oily fish should I eat?


How much oily fish should I eat?

We should eat at least one portion (around 140 grams when cooked) of oily fish a week.

Oily fish can contain low levels of pollutants that can build up in the body. For this reason there are maximum recommendations for the number of portions we should be eating each week. These recommendations are different for different groups of people.

  • Women and girls should eat no more than two portions of oily fish a week if they may become pregnant in future or if they are currently pregnant or breastfeeding. This is because pollutants found in oily fish may affect the development of a baby in the womb in the future.
  • Men and boys, and women and girls who know they won't become pregnant in future, can eat up to four portions of oily fish a week.
