Tips and Notes
Regarding fresh tuna, I have read from several sources that when we cook it and serve it on the table, we are also consuming mercury, which is now a proven presence and very risky for our health, especially for children and pregnant women.
To address this problem, which should not be underestimated, it is advised to limit the consumption to no more than one serving per week of these large fish like tuna, swordfish, and shark, and it is also recommended to alternate them with smaller fish species such as sardines, mackerel, sea bass etc.
Canned tuna is considered safer, as the fish used are generally smaller and younger, thus having a limited mercury content.
