After doing some research it looks like there is a company that sells low mercury tuna that is wild caught. It's called Wild Planet. The problem of course is that it's (cue the broken record) more expensive; however, Amazon sells it in bulk for a fairly reasonable price (around $2.50/can). Check it out here>>
I very much appreciated all of Jimmy's insights but if I can just play devil's advocate for a second, looks like there's a lot of debate out there about seafood and mercury. Read some interesting articles and one interesting fact was that mercury in fish is also naturally occurring (ie- volcanic activity, etc...), not all from pollution.and industrialization. People do seem to agree that wild-caught Alaskan Salmon is the safest bet, but skipjack (chunk light) is considered pretty low level and safe as well in a weekly diet.

Also, was surprised to read that fish may not be a strict no-no for pregnant woman after all: http://www.aboutseafood.com/truthaboutfishandmercury
Would be curious to know how well Fish Oil pills compare to actual fish consumption nutritionally...
