Information
The Newfoundland turbot is a variety of fish that can be consumed during pregnancy. However, it is important to make sure that the fish you eat is fresh and well cooked. Indeed, raw or partially cooked fish can contain bacteria and parasites that can be dangerous for the health of the mother and the baby. It is also important to make sure that the fish is well cooked. The Newfoundland turbot should be cooked at an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit for at least 15 seconds. A higher internal temperature is necessary to kill the parasites that can be in the fish. Finally, it is important to note that the Newfoundland turbot is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins and minerals, which are beneficial for the health of the mother and the baby. In conclusion, the Newfoundland turbot can be consumed during pregnancy provided that the fish is fresh and well cooked. The internal temperature of the fish should be checked and consume it in moderation.
