I usually enjoy eating basa fish, it's quite light. But now that I'm pregnant, I'm confused about which fish are safe to eat. Can I continue to have basa during pregnancy?
Basa is a great choice because it is very low in mercury compared to other big fish. Just a gentle reminder: make sure it is fully cooked and steaming hot before you eat it. Stay healthy and take care of yourself.
My mom always tells me to eat only freshly caught local fish, so we were a bit unsure about Basa initially. But my gynac said cooked Basa is low in mercury and completely safe to eat. Just ensure it's cooked extremely well with proper ghar ke masale.
I felt so many cravings for fish fry during my second trimester and ate Basa quite a few times. I was so worried about mercury levels, but my doctor reassured me it is perfectly safe when cooked well. It was such a relief to enjoy my favorite food!
Yes dear, Basa is totally safe and actually very good for protein! Just make sure you are not eating raw fish or sushi, and get it from a clean place. Enjoy your fish curry and don't stress too much!
Honestly, Basa is quite cheap and easy to cook since it has no bones, making it very practical. It is safe to eat during pregnancy as long as it's not undercooked. Just fry it properly or make a nice home-style curry.
