shellfish

I know that shellfish is generally safe to eat during pregnancy so long it's well cooked, however I came across an article saying shellfish feed with alge, even it's fully cook, bacteria, will still be there. Will you avoid shellfish during pregnancy? E.g. Abalone, scallop, oyster, etc.

I avoided shellfish during pregnancy. Most of them are bottom feeders. E.g. mussels are used to filter/clean water, I.e. all the toxic waste is contained IN the mussel. If u eat it, the toxins end up in your body!
