Never a good idea to eat raw seafood
Typically we do not recommend raw fish during pregnancy. Cooked fish is ok.
Yes. But as a general rule, please limit your seafood consumption to 1 pound of seafood per week. cdc.gov has a page on seafood in pregnancy and it lists which specific kinds of fish are okay and which are less so. Use that please and refer to that as a reference.
