Genuine Fish and Seafood Recipes

Types Of Fish


With the increasing interest in healthy eating, fish has come back into favour and with so many varieties available it makes a very welcome change from red meat. Fish is high in protein but low in fat, and the fat it does contain is higher in polyunsaturates than most other animal/protein foods. It is also a rich source of minerals and iron plus it is quick to prepare and cook.
There are three groups of fish: White Fish Recipes, where the oil is found mainly in the liver leaving the flesh relatively fat-free, Oily Fish Recipes, where the oil is found mainly in the flesh, and Shellfish Recipes, which could be crustacea, e.g. lobster, crab and prawn, or molluscs, e.g oysters, scallops and mussels. All fish are described as round or flat.
