Most
people know that eating fish is good for the heart. That’s because fish is rich
in omega-3 fatty acids—compounds that are essential to health but are not made
by the body. But are some fish healthier to eat than others? If so, which ones
are they? To help you with your food choices at your favorite seafood
restaurant, below is a list of some of the healthiest fish to check out:
Salmon
When
it comes to fish that contains the highest amount of omega-3s, fresh salmon is
high up there. In addition, salmon is known to have the lowest mercury content
of any fish in the sea, further adding to its multitude of benefits.
Sardines and Anchovies
Like
many people, you probably dislike eating sardines and anchovies because of their
strong, unusual smell. However, once you become used to their smell and taste,
you will probably love them; besides, like salmon, these two fish types are two
of your healthiest options. So the next time you eat out, order that pizza with
anchovies on top, or try that salad of leafy greens that come tossed with
sardines.
Tuna
Yes,
canned tuna is pretty common and you can easily purchase them from the nearest
grocery; however, nothing beats fresh, so be sure to order your tuna fish fresh
from the restaurant from time to time.
