No one has ever questioned the health benefits of fish. The only debate is which is healthier – sea or river fish.
For some, there is no difference at all, while others refuse to eat river fish, believing that it is full of parasites.
The experts at PG.12 have a different point of view on this matter. Here's how to choose fish correctly.
Sea fish
It contains essential omega-3 fatty acids that strengthen the heart, brain and joints.
River fish
Its main advantage is the abundance of protein. Also, river inhabitants differ from sea inhabitants by the abundance of iron.
Highlight
But the most important thing when choosing fish is not where it was caught, but the conditions in which it was grown.
It is known that fish are raised on farms and caught in the wild.
When it comes to fish farms, growth stimulants, hormones and other additives that increase weight and improve the appearance of the product are often used.
But such products can be harmful to humans.
Therefore, preference should be given to fish caught in the wild.
