Seafood are considered the healthiest in the family of foods however not every thing under the sea is healthy. here are some of the options to consider.
the ‘do’s’ of Sea food
- Albacore Tuna
Many tuna are considered to have mercury which is quite harmful to the body, but this Tuna s safe, and are rich in Omega3 .
2. Salmon
They are the super food of fish, thye are packed with a large amount of Omega 3-caught, probably 1,210 mg of omega-3s per 3-ounce serving.
3. Oysters)
Especially those that are farmed. A 3-ounce serving contains over 300 mg of omega-3s and about a third of the recommended daily values of iron.
4. Sardines (Omena or Dagaa)
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.
5. Prawns/Shrimps
Three ounces of baked or broiled shrimp provides about 20 grams of protein, it is also low in calories.
6. Freshwater Coho Salmon
They’re also a healthy source of omega-3s–one 3-ounce serving delivers 1,025 mg.
The Don’t of Sea Food
1. Bluefin Tuna
As earlier mentions bluefin continues to command as much as $177,000 a fish. Bluefin have high levels of mercury and their PCBs are so high that EDF recommends not eating this fish at all.
2. Chileans Sea Bass
At present, there is one well-managed fishery that is MSC-certified. EDF has issued a consumption advisory for Chilean sea bass due to high mercury levels: Adults should eat no more than two meals per month and children 12 and younger should eat it no more than once a month.
3. Grouper
High mercury levels in these giant fish have caused EDF to issue a consumption advisory. Groupers can live to be 40 but only reproduce over a short amount of time, making them vulnerable to over-fishing.
