Hallow Dear,

Kingfish is safe during pregnancy, provided you are not allergic to it. In fact fish provides good fats and good protein to the body. It provides Vitamin A also. So I do not find any harm in consuming kingfish during pregnancy. It has no bad effect on the baby growing in the uterus.

I hope this helps.
