What fish and seafood are good for health?

This fish con­tains mod­er­ate lev­els of mer­cury and is also high in pro­tein and omega-3s. So yes: these crumbs (or not so crumbs) are worth your mon­ey and cook­ing time.

1. Atlantic Mackerel

Mack­er­el is not only tasty, but also very healthy. It has a record low amount of mer­cury, but just an incred­i­ble amount of omega-3s — 1954 mg per serv­ing! Just cook it for lunch and you will feel how tasty, fra­grant and healthy it is. Enjoy your meal!

2. Gorbusha

Pink salmon is a great fish for those who want to build mus­cle, as well as for those who need a large amount of omega‑3. But the caviar of this fish is also use­ful, so do not for­get about it.

3. Atlantic and Pacific halibut

This meaty white fish makes it extreme­ly ben­e­fi­cial for every­one — on a diet, in sports, and even just for gourmets. It is sat­is­fy­ing, but at the same time does not make you gain extra pounds. Try to eat more Pacif­ic fish than Atlantic fish, as the num­bers of Atlantic hal­ibut are low.

4. Sardines in oil

Every­thing is the same here: the small­er the fish, the less mer­cury in it. So choose sar­dines that are small and firm. The nutri­tion­al val­ue of sar­dines makes them very healthy. For exam­ple, they close 12 per­cent of the rec­om­mend­ed dai­ly intake of vit­a­min D. It also con­tains sele­ni­um, a use­ful min­er­al that helps metab­o­lism.

5. Atlantic pollock

Despite the com­mon name, the Atlantic pol­lock is larg­er and dark­er than the Alaskan pol­lock, which is actu­al­ly a dif­fer­ent species. Atlantic fish have a much high­er omega‑3 con­tent. Its mild taste and del­i­cate tex­ture make the fish extreme­ly ver­sa­tile, suit­able for any diet.

6. Lobster

This lob­ster lacks the intim­i­dat­ing claws of its Maine coun­ter­part, but it does have spikes. And yet — it is very use­ful, unlike a rel­a­tive. Spiny lob­ster is rich in omega-3s, pro­vid­ing 122 per­cent of the dai­ly val­ue of this sub­stance. It also con­tains a lot of vit­a­min B12, which is impor­tant for the func­tion­ing of the ner­vous sys­tem. There­fore, do not refuse this dish if you have a chance.

7 European Anchovy

Anchovies are an ingre­di­ent in many dish­es. For exam­ple — piz­za with anchovies, sal­ads with anchovies and so on. They are quite use­ful, because they are five times the dai­ly dose of omega‑3. Try intro­duc­ing this fish into your diet to get much more of this ben­e­fi­cial sub­stance than from oth­er fish.

8. Atlantic herring

Her­ring is a real mir­a­cle. It is one of the top three foods in terms of omega‑3 con­tent, it is also a source of large amounts of vit­a­min B12 and vit­a­min D. Her­ring can be fried and sea­soned with lemon juice, or you can pick­le it. Choose your­self.

9. Sockeye

Sock­eye salmon has brighter meat than reg­u­lar salmon. In addi­tion, it has more omega‑3 in meat than reg­u­lar salmon. But sock­eye salmon is con­sid­ered so use­ful only thanks to vit­a­min D, which is cov­ered by 112 per­cent of the dai­ly require­ment due to one serv­ing of such fish. It is very impor­tant for the pre­ven­tion of breast can­cer and also improves heart health.

10 Wild Pacific Oysters

It would seem, fu. But only six oys­ters, and you will eat 28 g of pro­tein, and also 2064 mg of omega‑3, which helps with acne, slows down aging. And oys­ters are a well-known aphro­disi­ac, so they are ide­al for a roman­tic din­ner.
