All I know is that the oil in fish helps your brain, or something like that. I'm not sure but I know that fish oil is very good for you. You can buy capsules of fish oil too. Also, fish is very high in protein and obviously lots of protein is good

Fish are nutritious and good to eat. When properly prepared, fish provide numerous health benefits, especially for the heart. The American Heart Association recommends eating two to three fish meals each week. The benefits of eating fish include:
Fish offer high-quality protein with fewer calories than a similar-sized portion of meat. For example, both catfish and ground beef are about 18% protein. But, for an 8-ounce meal, the catfish will have only about 232 calories, while the regular ground beef will have about 640 calories.
Fish are low in sodium and are good sources of potassium, vitamins, and other minerals.
Fish are generally low in cholesterol and saturated fats, which have been associated with high blood pressure and heart disease.
While the benefits of fish on nutrition are still being studied, much of the current research is focused on various kinds of beneficial fats in fish, particularly a kind called omega-3 fatty acids which are in some fish and fish oils. Some studies have indicated that these fatty acids have favorable effects on health conditions such as hardening of the arteries, high levels of cholesterol and high blood pressure
Fish is it packed with healthful vitamins and minerals, it is also a major source of omega-3 fatty acids, which a veritable flood of recent studies shows lowers the chance of heart attack, lower blood pressure, makes babies smarter, wards off dementia and stroke in the elderly, and even seems to guard against dry-eye syndrome. Omega-3's are good for overall cardiovascular health. The most healthy fish (they contain the highest amounds of omega-3's) are salmon, herring, and trout.
Yeah, haibut, mahi mahi, and tuna have a lot of mercury. Basically the bigger the fish is, the more mercury it has. Salmon is the healthiest fish because it has the most amount of omega-3's and the least amount of mercury supposedly.
I usually eat tuna as it is probably the easiest (and cheapest) way to eat fish. How good source is tuna? What about the mercury? It's suggested that you eat fish two days a week, but are there any bad consequences from eating it more often? I'm not asking for medical advice here, just people's own experiences.
What's the best way to eat fish? What's the easiest way to include it to your diet? And has anyone personally noticed differences in their body when increasing the amount of fish?

I eat white fish almost everyday.. my sister and I can be extremely lazy to cook for real so we just vaporize it with some herbs and it's ready in 10 minutes.. I havent noticed anything spectacular really.. you definitely feel much lighter and digestion seems to work at a healthy pace than when you eat chicken or meat..
i don't think that there are bad consequences associated with eating it more often than twice a week, apart from the associated effect that you're eating less meat, or something else that also has its own particular values...
i've lived in one of ireland's major fishing villages all my life, with about 30 fish shops and only a few thousand people. so i am used to eating a lot of very fresh and high quality fish... the base of almost all my dinners (when i have one). so i don't know how it has benefited me, since i've never been without it, but i'm almost never sick and have a good accurate memory, that may be partially due to all that fish oil i'm consuming
my favourite fish at the moment is monkfish , done in strips with garlic and eaten with pasta.
Well, I go on a pescitarian diet (no meat or shellfish, just fish) every other month because I eat excesses amount of red meat/shellfish - i.e. very rich and in Chinese we call them 'hot' foots, in the intervening months so it's kind of like cleansing the palate for me. My skin is noticeably clearer and obviously the tummy is a bit flatter as well but probably because I'm eating less fat.
I stick to sea bass, cod, haddock, salmon, red mullet, bream and sole - quite fleshy fish so it's easy for me to cook and I like to steam it or roast it using very little oil. I'm very extreme in my diet though. I like the one month of indulgence thing and then the one month of eating really healthily......
I don't eat any kinds of meat...not anymore. When I did I always bought Chinook or King Salmon. They aren't farm raised. Usually the farm raised salmons they lack nutrients that your looking for in a salmon.
Yeah, haibut, mahi mahi, and tuna have a lot of mercury. Basically the bigger the fish is, the more mercury it has. Salmon is the healthiest fish because it has the most amount of omega-3's and the least amount of mercury supposedly.
Then why did everyone freak out about salmon last year?
^ I didn't hear about that... I just found the information about salmon supposedly being the best fish for you online on a few different health websites. What happened last year?
