Hi everyone
I am 3 months pregnant. Am I able to have fish and chips seeing as though they are deep fried? Are they pre-cooked?
Thanks :)

Ummm... I"ve eaten them and been fine. I think being deep-fried, they're cooked under really hot conditions so they're OK.

Yum Fish and chips, I had them on the weekend and have been fine. Just watch out afterwards as they can make you gassy and feel a bit queesy.

yeah i read anything deep fried is good too - so have had fish and chips a few times...and a few fillet o fish burgers too....and must agree it is just the greasy aftereffects that you need to worry about

Great - thanks for all your fast replies!
Does that mean I could have a deep fried scallop too? That would be the icing on the cake :)

I don't know about that... I think shellfish you are supposed to stay away from. Sorry to burst the bubble!!!
I'll just try find a site to check for ya

I lie!! Apparently you can if it is fresh and cooked steaming hot (/fried to bits)
Enjoy!

Hey, on that site I found that you are able to eat soft cheeses provided they are served hot... so those ladies with a camembert craving... deep fried camembert should be fine! (p.s. Hell Pizza has this. Just make sure you ask for it to be hot hot hot)

Thanks! I'll definitely have the fish but have second thoughts about the scallop. I'm sure fish will be more than enough!

We had fish and chips the other night....with a spring roll and a pineapple fritter.....great now I'm hungry.
I must admit to eating soft cheeses on occassion so long as they kiwi ones....(pasturised and all that)
