Fish is very healthy and contains protein, vitamins and minerals. It is recommended that we all consume at least two fish meals per week. One of these meals should be of oily fish. You can choose from fresh, frozen or canned fish. However, you should be careful because canned and smoked fish may contain a lot of salt.

Oil fish are called so because they contain types of fats known as omega 3 fatty acids. They are very healthy and have various properties. Omega 3 fatty acids can protect against heart diseases.

We all should consume a lot of oily fish. However, pregnant women should have maximum two portions of oily fish for a week. Note that a portion is about 140 g. Adults are commonly advised to eat up to four portions of oily fish.

But what fish is oily? The following are examples of oily fish: salmon, trout, mackerel, fresh tuna, eel, pilchards, sardines, herring, etc.

Non-oily fish, also called white fish, include haddock, plaice, cod, skate, coley, hake, tinned tuna.
