Despite being a culinary favorite amongst several Asian cultures, the swordfish is a dangerous fish to eat during pregnancy. This is because it contains high levels of mercury making it toxic for consumption. The excess of mercury in swordfish can cause brain damage in your baby and delay its bodily development.
