Representatives of predators are sharks. Its meat is eaten as a delicacy. Mercury accumulates in meat, which complicates the cooking process. Sharks number more than 450 species.

herring species do not have scales on their heads. Representatives have small teeth, a simple color. Meat is rich in protein and vitamin A.

Herring- one of the most popular marine abodes. A similar group is mackerels.

Hello friends! In this article we will talk about which fish is the most useful for humans.

I was asked yesterday if I now eat something else besides ""?☺

I talk about them too often and write everywhere.

No, I'm NOT a fan of sweets at all (from the word at all), but I just wanted to learn how to cook the right sweets.

And, of course, they are not at all the basis of my diet.

Our family is very fond of fish, and we eat it MUCH more often than meat.

I decided to write this article about her, and a trip to Karelia inspired me to do this.

There we visited a farm where trout are bred.

And despite the fact that the fish looked beautiful and fresh, I did not want to buy it at all.

After all, the information that the most useful fish is wild fish, the one that was born and raised in the natural environment, has long and densely settled in my head.

Let's talk in more detail about which fish is the most useful, and which is not worth eating.

From this article you will learn:

About the fact that fish is useful, we are told from childhood.

This product is truly unique.

See for yourself, I will briefly list the main advantages of fish, how useful fish is:

  • Fish contains ESSENTIAL fatty acids

I think that many people know that our body needs a constant supply of two essential polyunsaturated fatty acids - alpha-linolenic acid (OMEGA 3) and linoleic acid (OMEGA 6).

These acids are not synthesized by our body, so we must get them from food.

But, there are also two more OMEGA 3 fatty acids that are also vital to our body:

  • eicosapentoenoic acid (EPA)
  • docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).

These acids are not interchangeable, they are very necessary for our body and are found mainly in fish!

This is one of the main factors indicating why eating fish is so beneficial.

The amount of OMEGA 6 to OMEGA 3 in our body should be approximately equal!

But, in fact, in practice, we consume much more OMEGA 6 due to the fact that they are more common in foods than OMEGA 3.

This creates an unhealthy imbalance in the body, which manifests itself in a variety of diseases (arthritis, depression, baldness, atherosclerosis, dementia, etc.)

Based on this, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that you eat two to three fish dishes a week.

  • Fish is a source of complete protein, which is quite easily digested in our body.
  • And fish is the richest source of vitamins and microelements, it is vitamin A, D, potassium, phosphorus, iodine, which are necessary for our body.

Salmon has the most optimal balance of OMEGA 3 to OMEGA 6.

The amount of EPA and DHA in this fish is perfect!

The daily dose of Omega-3 fatty acids is 85 milligrams.

This dose is found in just 100.0 salmon!

Wild fish and farm fish - which one to choose?

Today, all fish (including seafood) can be roughly divided into two types: "artificial" or aquaculture (grown in artificial reservoirs on special feeds) and wild fish (grown in natural conditions)

Here the opinion of nutritionists is unequivocal, you need to choose the fish that has grown in its natural habitat, that is, in rivers, seas and oceans.

Captive-raised fish and seafood are fed food supplemented with hormones, growth promoters, antibiotics, dyes and preservatives.

Today there are no strict requirements for the feed for this fish, that is, the dosage, quality, safety of these feeds are not regulated in any way.

For example, artificially fed salmon contains 10 times more poisonous substances such as diphenyl and dioxin than wild salmon. These poisons accumulate in our body and suppress the immune system, affect the liver, kidneys, nervous system and, most importantly, have a mutagenic effect.

Canthaxanthin dye is added to the food for "artificial" trout, which is very harmful to our eyesight.

And another very important factor, in aquaculture fish, Omega 3 fatty acids are almost completely absent.

What kind of fish can be grown artificially?

So, the main list of fish that can be grown in aquaculture includes:

  • Salmon (salmon, salmon) - 90% of all salmon and trout on the shelves of our aquaculture stores
  • Dorada (fish are bred in rooms with special light and fed with special feed to make the meat white and tender)
  • Sea bass - Wild sea bass is listed in the Red Book. Everything that is sold in stores is farm fish.
  • Pangasuis and telapia are trash fish that live in the most dirty rivers peace. But they also manage to grow this fish artificially, treating it with male sex hormones; such fish grows faster.
  • Sturgeons - most sturgeons are also listed in the Red Book, their fishing in the wild is prohibited. Everything we see on store shelves is mostly aquaculture fish.
  • Carp, crucian carp, haddock and carp can also be grown on fish farms.
  • Unfortunately, this also includes most seafood (mussels, oysters, shrimps, scallops, octopuses, lobsters, lobsters)

What fish is wild?

So, wild fish that has grown in natural conditions, which means it is more healthy and tasty, is:

  • Far Eastern salmon (pink salmon, chum salmon, sockeye salmon, coho salmon, chinook salmon, lenok trout, char, whitefish, etc.) is the main fishery of this fish in Kamchatka, Sakhalin and the Kuriles. This is the most useful red meat and red caviar. This fish feeds on phytoplankton and krill, it is rich in the strongest antioxidant and Omega 3.
  • Cod is a healthy dietary fish, especially cod liver, from which fish oil is produced.
  • Pollock - pollock is the closest relative of cod and the most accessible wild fish, which has a lot of useful properties. Pollock protein is absorbed by the human body almost completely, and in terms of the amount of iodine, equal to pollock simply cannot be found.
  • Saury - this fish cannot be grown in captivity. This wild fish is a real storehouse of vitamins and omega 3 fatty acids.
  • Herring is a common herring, in fact, it is the most valuable source of selenium, omega 3 and complete protein.
  • Mackerel - this beloved oily fish, also never grew in captivity, and has all the advantages of wild fish.
  • Flounder - I was amazed, but it is flounder that contains more omega 3 than salmon, this fish is recommended to be consumed in the postoperative period for quick recovery.
  • Also wild fish include: hake, blue whiting, navaga, greenling, capelin, sardines.
  • The best fish among river fish are recognized as pike and perch.
  • They didn’t artificially learn how to breed squid from seafood, but you can find imported fillets of it on sale. It is better not to use such a fillet because of its chemical processing, it is best to buy Russian-made Pacific unpeeled squid.

How to choose the right fish?

This plate will tell you how to choose the right fish.

Read carefully and remember!


Don't buy fish fillets.

Very often, the bones in it are dissolved with a special chemical solution, and in order for the fillet to have a beautiful presentation, it is filled with water, salt, polyphosphates, dyes, ammonia and a bunch of other chemicals.

How to cook fish properly?

It is worth paying attention to such facts:

Well, the most harmful way of cooking fish is smoking, especially hot. It not only kills everything useful in fish, but is also a source of carcinogens that cause cancer.

Well, that's all, friends!

What kind of fish do you buy most often? What is the healthiest fish for you?

Alena was with you, be healthy and eat right!

We all have heard about how useful salmon, trout, salmon. But we note that only grown in the wild, and not the one that is grown in special pools and eats mixed fodder. Experts say that these elite varieties have a serious competitor among budget and affordable types of fish, which is also a good source of omega-3 fatty acids.

The name of this proud fish is capelin. The editors will tell you why it is so good. And also about how to properly cook this fish so that it brings maximum benefit.

The healthiest fish

Capelin fish has been familiar to people for a very long time. It is bought both for themselves and for a pet. This fish is rich in protein: it contains at least 20-25% of easily digestible protein. Like all types of fish that live in the cold waters of the Atlantic and Arctic Oceans, capelin is rich in omega-3 and omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids. From the point of view of physiology, she needs this fat to warm herself, so in the autumn period she is more fat.

Capelin is valuable for the presence in it of a huge amount of vitamins A and D. Vitamin B12 is more in it than in ordinary meat. The trace elements contained in capelin make it especially useful. It also contains iodine, selenium and phosphorus. Selenium is involved in the formation of our bones and hair. Without phosphorus, bone tissue is destroyed.

For capelin to be beneficial, you need to buy it raw or frozen. Important: Defrost it naturally, not in the microwave. You should not look towards the counters with smoked capelin, because there is practically nothing useful left in it. Also, experts are categorically against frying capelin. With this preparation, we kill almost everything beneficial features this fish.

Fresh fish - what is it? A pier, ships, the cry of seagulls and breakups with fresh fish immediately come to mind. All this is in the European coastal markets, but we are in Moscow. With good fish, things in Moscow have not been important for a long time. Therefore, if you want to eat quality fish, you need to be able to choose it.

There are 2 trade names: chilled fish and frozen fish. You will be upset, but there is not enough really chilled fish in Moscow. For the most part, under the guise of chilled fish, they sell you thawed fish with added value for "pseudo-freshness". And even well-known megastores and premium chain stores are doing this. Maybe because the sellers behind the counter have little understanding of fish, or maybe the rules of the game have long been established and selling fish honestly means being in a losing position in advance and having to do like everyone else.

  • Chilled fish is fish that, from the moment it was caught until the moment it was sold, was kept fresh, not frozen, subject to the prescribed temperatures during transportation, reloading, re-sorting, storage, etc. In Moscow, such fish can be ... almost all farm fish (aquaculture). These are sea bass, dorado, salmon, trout, carp, sturgeon, crayfish, oysters. Very rarely, if a store wants to sell good fish, it may have chilled fish in its assortment. sea ​​fish, such as cod, squid, octopus, crabs, but this, again, is VERY RARE. It is much easier to buy frozen cod and after defrosting it stick a "chilled" price tag. This is how most shops do it.
  • Frozen or fresh-frozen fish, everything here is simply fish caught and frozen. BUT! Frozen fish can be different. Quality and no. From here the price for the same fish dances. It can be 200 and 700 rubles per kilo of one type of fish. Freshly caught fish can spend several days in the holds until it is delivered to the shore for further processing, or it can be cut and frozen immediately on the ship within a few hours after being caught. We do not have very many such floating factories, but they do exist and they produce very good fish. What else to say about frozen fish? Freeze may be dry, or may contain icing. By itself, the glaze on frozen fish is useful. It protects the fish from oxidation, drying out and premature spoilage, but the main thing is that its quantity should not be prohibitive. According to the regulations, the glaze content cannot exceed 5% of the weight of the fish, but many people neglect this, the temptation to outwit everyone and sell more ice cream water is too great. And this factor also affects the final price.

Recently, you can find more and more articles and advice on the Internet (from bloggers, culinary specialists, the restaurant community), that today in Moscow it makes sense to pay attention to good frozen fish. And by the way, more and more restaurants, where quality is primary, and price is secondary, come to high-quality freezing. And if you settled on choosing frozen fish, remember the main rule of defrosting food! Defrost the fish in the refrigerator, slowly. So her flesh will remain denser and more plethoric substances will be preserved.

Happy shopping in the online store "Fish Delivery"!
