Omega-3 (DHA) Rich Recipes

Omega-3s build the membranes of eggs and sperm before conception, the baby’s brain and eyes during pregnancy, and pass into breast milk afterwards. These recipes use low-mercury oily fish - salmon, trout, sardines - fully cooked where pregnancy requires it, plus walnuts and flax for meat-free days.

Common questions

How much fish should I eat during pregnancy?

Two portions of low-mercury oily fish a week (salmon, trout, sardines, mackerel) is the standard recommendation - enough for DHA without mercury concerns. Swordfish, shark and marlin are out; white fish like cod is a good extra.

Can I get enough DHA without eating fish?

Plant omega-3 (ALA, from walnuts and flax) converts to DHA only in small amounts. If you avoid fish entirely, ask your midwife or doctor about an algae-based DHA supplement - it covers the same need from a vegan source.

Which fish are low in mercury and safe during pregnancy?

Salmon, trout, sardines and cod are low-mercury choices that standard guidance encourages up to about two portions of oily fish a week. Swordfish, shark and marlin are the ones to skip. Always follow your own doctor or midwife.
