The healthiest fish you can eat? Blue fish are packed with omega-3 and flavor

They’re called blue fish — and they might be the best seafood choice for your health. Sardines, mackerel, herring, tuna and salmon fall into this group, known for being rich in omega-3 fatty acids and other essential nutrients.

These fish are known to support cardiovascular health, reduce inflammation and improve mood and brain function.

As highlighted in a recent expert report, eating blue fish at least twice a week is linked to lower risks of heart disease and better metabolic health.

What makes them special?

• High in omega-3 — reduces inflammation and supports heart health;
• Rich in vitamin D, selenium and high-quality protein;
• Helps regulate blood pressure and cholesterol.

How to cook and enjoy

• Baked: with lemon, garlic and olive oil;
• Grilled: served with herbs and vegetables;
• Canned: great for cold dishes and quick lunches.

By the way, healthy food doesn’t have to be boring. Add blue fish to your plate — your heart (and taste buds) will thank you.
