Fish Recipes


Everyone knows that fish is a very healthy food. It’s low in saturated fat and is a fantastic source of Omega-3 fatty acids, which have been shown to lower the risk of heart disease by lowering cholesterol and decreasing the stickiness of blood platelets. Therefore a diet rich in fish is highly recommended.

Fish is not only healthy but also tasty. There are so many different types of fish you can choose from. Besides of that, you have so many cooking possibilities – you can bake, fry, grill, steam, poach. And it also cooks quickly. But fish can also be eaten uncooked, such as when prepared as sushi and sashimi.

You should however be careful when buying and storing fish – especially if fresh - because fish is a highly perishable food.
