Restaurant seafood. Yes or no?

[LimeSlice]

Would depend on the restaurant for me, but as a general rule, yes, I ate seafood from restaurants.

I however don't eat shellfish or mussels etc anyhow, so it a strictly fish affair for me anyhow, and never had an issue.
If you are concerned, ask how the fish came into the restaurant - frozen or fresh - and when it was bought in.

Just as long as you pick something piping hot it should be fine.

I always looked at the quality of the restaurant and picked food accordingly e.g. hot food rather than cold. I did eat seafood throughout last pregnancy and have in this one. I think I avoided oysters but did eat prawns, mussels and most types of fish - I am sure at a good seafood restaurant (is it somewhere you know has a good reputation?) there will be plenty of things to choose from.

Really the only thing I restrict myself is food from lunch platters in meetings at work (because often have been standing about ages and you can never be sure when was prepared or who has had their hands on them) and sushi from sushi stores (I have eaten it when made fresh by friends though).

i recently went out with the inlaws to a place ive never eaten at before, and my first choice (there only vegaterian meal, im not vegaterian) wasnt being served that night, and there was nothing else i liked on the menu, so i ordered the beer battered barramundi, was tasty and im all good!
