Healthy Fish Recipes

healthy fish recipes
Our healthy fish recipes are a snap to make. Fish cooks very quickly, so it is the ideal choice for a quick meal. It is recommended that you get two three-ounce servings of fish a week, preferably from fish high in omega 3 fatty acid, such as salmon, mackerel, rainbow trout, oysters and sardines.

However, you should keep your consumption of large fish down to a moderate level due to the high levels of mercury found in the fish. It is advised that you eat no more than 6 ounces of high-mercury fish per week. This includes fish such as tuna, swordfish, king mackerel, shark or tilefish. Fish with relatively low levels of mercury are cod, shrimp, chunk light tuna and pollock.

When shopping, the freshest fish will have bright, clear eyes and a shiny metallic appearance. Dullness is a sign that it may be past its prime. It should also not smell “fishy” and should have red gills, not brick-colored. Shellfish should be alive when you buy them. If you leave them out on the counter briefly and step away, then come back and touch them, they should close their shells tighter. Discard any shellfish that don't open when you cook them, as they were dead before cooking. Oysters should have a fresh briny scent and should contract slightly when you squeeze a little lemon on them. Discard any that smell “off” to you.
