Hey! Not a weird question at all. Halibut is moderate in mercury so okay to eat during pregnancy, we just want to limit it. There are typically no immediate affects of mercury intake, it’s more about the build up over time. When you ingest a lot over time it builds up faster than it is excreted and can cause toxic effects. You haven’t done any harm to baby so no worries there! You wouldn’t want to consume halibut 4-5 more times this month, but you can still eat lower mercury fish!
