Is it ok to eat fried clam strips while pregnant?

Question

I live in New England and seafood is all around me but right now i am having a craving for fried clam strips is it safe to eat them while pregnant?

Answer 1

SHould be ok as long as it's cooked.  I'm not sure what the mercury content is for clams - which sometimes is a concern with seafood.

Answer 2

You can probably have some.  Just don't over do it.  My obgyn said it is safe to eat seafood once every 2 weeks, but to avoid large fish and anything served raw.
