How Often Should You Eat Fish Per Week?

The American Heart Association (AHA) recommends eating 2 servings of fish per week, where 1 serving equals 3.5 ounces (oz) of cooked fish, or about ¾ cup of flaked fish. The AHA emphasizes eating fatty fish like salmon, mackerel, trout, and sardines, because these choices are especially high in omega-3 fatty acids (more on these shortly). Limit fish like shark, swordfish, and tilefish, as these have a higher risk of mercury contamination. The American Diabetes Association (ADA) echoes these recommendations for people with diabetes. The ADA also notes that it’s best to grill, broil, or bake fish, as breaded and fried fish packs extra carbs and calories. The best part about fish?
