The Monterey Bay Aquarium has just released a list of seafood both high in omega 3 and sustainable or the super green list. The list has also been compiled with the lowest contaminant levels. The issues around mercury and contaminants in recent years has scared the public away from eating a lot of fish.
However with wise choices fish can make a wonderful part of a healthy diet, its lean, tasty and often rich in omega 3, zinc and other vital nutrients. The scientists state that eating just one serving of salmon a week contains enough omega 3 to decrease the risk of heart disease by 36%.
