What is the healthiest fish to eat? Avoid these types that are high in mercury.

Fish is a healthy food high in omega-3 fatty acids, which are essential polyunsaturated fats that our bodies do not naturally produce. According to a study from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 68% of adults and over 95% of children consume less than the recommended amount of omega-3 fats.

In addition to protein content, the American Heart Association says eating fish twice per week can also lead to better cardiovascular health. But not all fish are equal. Some are much healthier than others, and there are also considerable environmental concerns related to contaminants like mercury and polychlorinated biphenyls.

What is the healthiest fish to eat?

These are some of the healthiest fish for your diet, according to Healthline — though read further for more details on how to ensure you’re not contributing negatively to the environment:

Alaskan salmon

Cod

Herring

Mahi-mahi

Mackerel (other than king mackerel)

Perch

Rainbow trout

Sardines

Striped bass

Tuna (other than bluefin and bigeye tuna), especially canned light tuna

What are the worst fish to eat?

The worst fish to eat are those high in mercury, according to WebMD. Avoid these fish for that reason:

Imported swordfish

Imported marlin

Shark

Tilefish

King mackerel

Orange roughy

Some types of tuna, such as bluefin and bigeye tuna, may also be more likely to have higher levels of mercury, according to WebMD.

What are the best fish to eat for the environment?

It’s important to think about sustainability, as well as the health implications of consuming fish with contaminants such as mercury or polychlorinated biphenyls. Fish healthy to eat and having minimal environmental impact, according to One Medical:

Troll-caught or pole-caught albacore tuna from the U.S. or British Columbia

Wild-caught salmon from Alaska

Farmed oysters

Wild-caught sardines from the Pacific Ocean

Farmed rainbow trout

Tank-farmed freshwater coho salmon from the U.S.

I like mine caught right from the river/lake. Oil in the pan with the skin on them still, what a tasty treat.
