The wic office told me as long as a fish doesn't grow to be bigger than 12 inches long you can eat it. Shrimp is okay. The bigger the fish the higher chance of it having mercury in it.

Shrimp is fine. Most seafoods are ok to eat. Just stay away from big fish and raw sushi.

anytype of canned seafood/fish is perfectly fine to eat, its the deep sea fish that you have to watch out for like shark, orange roughy etc, this type of fish should only be eaten once every two weeks :)

Well the doc says we should be careful with sea foods, I think shrimp is safe.  Personally I would rather start away from all sea food.
