29 Sep 5 Most Nutritious Sea Foods to Eat
Some fish have a high mercury content, which makes them potentially dangerous if you eat too much.
And other species of fish have been over-fished to the point of population decline. So it’s important to be smart and informed about your under the sea options. Here’s a list of seafood you absolutely should be eating, courtesy of real money casinos USA.
- Salmon
Arguably one of the most popular fish in the United States is salmon, with its pink flesh and distinct flavor that is decidedly un-fishy. It’s delicious in both raw and cooked form, so it’s often found in sushi and standard American cuisine alike. And there are several kinds of salmon to pick from, ranging from the aptly-named King Salmon to Sockeye and Coho varieties. You can get it fresh from a fishmonger if you’re lucky, but frozen is totally fine too — you’d be surprised how good it is.
- Tilapia
Did you know that in some regards, eating tilapia is worse than eating bacon? In fact, the shift to eating more farmed fish like tilapia is leading to highly inflammatory diets, according to a 2008 study published in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association. Wake Forest University School of Medicine researchers say tilapia is one of the most widely consumed fish in America. The problem with that? It contains very low levels of beneficial omega-3 fatty acids and, perhaps worse, very high levels of inflammatory omega-6 fatty acids. Sustaining high levels of inflammation in the body can worsen symptoms of autoimmune disorders and may be linked to chronic conditions like heart disease, cancer and diabetes.
- Oysters
Farmed oysters are good for you (a 3-ounce serving contains over 300 mg of omega-3s and about a third of the recommended daily values of iron). Better yet, they are actually good for the environment. Oysters feed off the natural nutrients and algae in the water, which improves water quality. They can also act as natural reefs, attracting and providing food for other fish. One health caveat: Raw shellfish, especially those from warm waters, may contain bacteria that can cause illnesses, according to experts from online casinos in New Zealand.
- Sardines, Pacific
The tiny, inexpensive sardine is making it onto many lists of superfoods and for good reason. It packs more omega-3s (1,950 mg!) per 3-ounce serving than salmon, tuna, or just about any other food; it’s also one of the very, very few foods that’s naturally high in vitamin D. Many fish in the herring family are commonly called sardines. Quick to reproduce, Pacific sardines have rebounded from both overfishing and a natural collapse in the 1940s.
- Rainbow Trout
Though lake trout are high in contaminants, nearly all the trout you will find in the market is farmed rainbow trout. In the US, rainbow trout are farmed primarily in freshwater ponds and “raceways” where they are more protected from contaminants and fed a fish meal diet that has been fine-tuned to conserve resources.
