Hi
Yes you can try rohu fish, it is lower in mercury levels. It is also a good source of omega-3 fatty acids.
That being said, try it in smaller quantities to see if it suits you.

Yes you can have Rohu fish, provided when you buy it it's live and less than 2 kgs in size and not the usual ones that are sold dead and preserved. Try to purchase ones that are locally available in the markets and not the frozen ones.
