Which fish are the least fatty?
Some fish are fatter than others, but all have benefits for the body. Magali Le Mardeley gave us an update on lean fish and how to eat them.
The essential difference between a fatty fish and a lean fish is its fat content. “Oily fish are richer than lean fish, which, like pollock or cod, have very little fat,” says the dietician. The latter reminds us that it is recommended to eat fish twice a week, once for fatty fish (salmon, herring, sardine, mackerel, etc.) and once for lean fish. Remember that fish is rich in minerals (phosphorus, iodine, copper) and vitamins!
“It’s good to eat both. Oily fish, for example, are rich in omega-3. They cannot be synthesized by the body and must therefore be consumed in the diet. They are also found in certain oils or nuts. They are excellent for the nervous system and in the prevention of cardiovascular diseases,’ Magali Le Mardeley says. And as the dietitian reminds us, contrary to popular belief, fish are not salted, unlike shellfish. “In a lean fish such as the pollock bought from the fishmonger, there is no salt at all,” she explains.
