Tasty Superfish

Updated on November 17, 2015

This is now the third hub in a row that I've written on a food topic. First I wrote about extinct foods, which none of you missed. Then I wrote about foods that were a big waste of money, and many of you disagreed with that. Now I'm going to write about good tasting healthy fish! Bon Appétit

Tuna and salmon aren't the only healthy fish that there is out there in the big blue sea. There are six other healthy fish that help your brain and heart as well. These are nutritious superfish that you should be eating in your diet for your health.

Sardines - Those little sardines are unique, because both the meat and bones of canned sardines are edible. One three ounce serving supplies more calcium than a cup of low fat milk, and nearly thirty percent of the recommended daily allowance of vitamin D. These two nutrients work together to decrease your risk of premature mortality. There's a never ending selection in choices of canned sardines for everyone's taste, which includes sardines in hot sauce, oil, mustard sauce, and numerous other delicious sauces.

Mackerel - This is another really tasty little fish like the small sardine. This little oily fish is one of the best dietary sources of vitamin D. Vitamin D plays an important role in bone health, mood, and immunity. The little mackerel plays a big role for those living in northern latitudes, where vitamin D deficiencies are more common.

Rainbow Trout - This brightly colored fish is just as colorful as a Summertime rainbow. With twenty grams of protein per every three ounce serving, the rainbow trout boasts almost a thousand milligrams of Omega-3 fatty acids. A new study by researchers found that these good fats may protect against cognitive decline.

Barramundi - Barramundi is a mild tasting white fish. This just may be my opinion, but I think white fish is some of the best tasting fish that there is out there. Barramundi offers twice the daily recommended intake of Omega-3's. Now you can't beat that!

Pollock - Pollock are very popular as fish sticks. Pollock is just as tasty and even healthier prepared as a fillet. One serving supplies 73 % of a person's daily need for selenium, which is a mineral that may lower your risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

Catfish - The good old Southern staple of catfish offers 100% of the daily requirements for the energy supplying vitamin B12, which is great for those who are at risk of being B12 deficient. Another high note is that an adequate vitamin B12 intake may also protect against cognitive decline by slowing the rate of brain shrinkage, and surely nobody out there wants that.
