Emily's honest take
Mama, it's best to steer clear of tilefish while you're pregnant. Authoritative guidelines from the FDA, EPA, ACOG, and Mayo Clinic consistently advise pregnant women to avoid tilefish because it can contain high levels of mercury, which can be harmful to your baby's developing nervous system. While some sources differentiate, specifically cautioning against "tilefish from the Gulf of Mexico," the general recommendation is to avoid it entirely.
Always check with your OB for personalized dietary advice, mama.
