Is grouper high in mercury?

[RavEnzo]

I’m a bit concerned about mercury levels in grouper. Is it something I need to worry about if I eat it occasionally? Would love some insights or advice from those in the know. Trying to balance enjoying seafood with staying healthy!

Hi. Grouper is on the list when it comes to fish you should lessen eat due to its moderately high mercury levels. This species is also highly vulnerable to overfishing.

Hi all! I think grouper does have some mercury, but it's generally lower than other fish like shark. It’s good to eat it in moderation, though, especially if you're pregnant.

Good question! Grouper does have some mercury, but it’s generally considered to be at a moderate level compared to other fish. It’s usually okay to enjoy it in moderation. If you’re worried about mercury, you might want to limit intake and vary your seafood choices.
