Limit to fish consumption for non-pregnant adults?

[The FDA limits servings for children and people about to become pregnant](https://www.fda.gov/media/102331/download), but says nothing concerning non-pregnant adults. Do any health organization recommend a limit to the amount of low-mercury fish non-pregnant adults can eat?

Answer

Jillian Michaels did a great YouTube video on this in the past year. It lists RDAs for pregnant women and adults as well as a lengthy list of options for low-mercury fish. I believe she discussed other nutrition markers as well. I saw it when I searched YT recently. I think this will at least provide some of the answers you seek.

Answer

There is an FDA advisory for all adults (would have to look on their website, but something like 1-2 cans of tuna/week?), but its more of a suggestion, where as for children and planning-to-be-preggers adults its a stronger advisory as their are developmental issues in those cases (children and soon-to-be-children).
