In addition, you should not eat large sea predators. This list includes shark, swordfish, tuna. They contain a lot of heavy metal salts, which can lead to poisoning.

River fish, such as carp, bream, roach or crucian carp, can also cause harm, as they have dangerous liver parasites.

As Lebedeva said, herring, chum salmon, pink salmon, cod, mackerel and pollock will be beneficial.
