But there are also things to keep in mind when eating fish:

1. Beware of mercury contamination. There are fish that eat dirt and pollution in the sea that are harmful to our health. Mercury is bad for pregnant women and babies. Because of this, small fish that are less than 12 inches long (12 inches or 1 feet) are preferred.

2. Bad breath can occur when you eat fishy fish.
