Batang fish during pregnancy should be fine as long as eaten in moderation! You can also use the Food feature on this app to find out which foods are safe or not in pregnancy.
Batang fish used in sliced fish soup is safe to eat. However, AVA recommends to limit intake to only 1 serving per week due to the mercury levels.
It's okay to consume food that are deemed with mecury in it but consume it in moderation. A little is fine as long as you don't over do it.
Yes it is safe. It is recommended to have smaller fishes during pregnancy as large fishes may risk containing higher levels of mercury
I eat all kinds of fish during my pregnancy , didn’t really check on their mercury level. Eat in moderation should be fine I guess.

Batang fish during pregnancy is safe. Just don't overdo it because some fish have mercury
