I was very excited about the phospholipid DHA that you spoke about. I ordered the salmon roe from Vital Choice. I am assuming it is safe to eat it raw, while pregnant? You said that you ate it with avocado, but you did not mention cooking it. I read an article that said if eating salmon roe while pregnant, it should be cooked or pasteurized. I trust the sourcing of Vital Choice in terms of the safety of the product. I did not order Ikura at the Japanese restaurant where the sourcing is unknown. Let me know your thoughts on the raw aspect. Thanks!
The concern with sushi is that, because it is raw, it can have parasites. In contrast, ikura arrives frozen, which tends to kill parasites. For that reason, I personally felt it was relatively safe and did eat it raw.
Thanks for looking to reach out! I try to reply to every single email I get (really!), but sometimes it takes a little while or some messages just fall through the cracks, usually by accident.

Thanks! I’m eating it right now with avocado and lemon :)
