In an article in the December journal of the American Dietetic
Association, editor Elaine R. Morgan reports on the recommendation to
have two servings weekly of fatty fish. The fat in fish contains
omega-3 fatty acids, which reduce the risk of heart disease,
kidney-related diseases and skin disorders. The report further states
that pregnant women and children benefit from omega-3 fatty acids in
that they are important for the development of brain and nerve cells,
including the eyes. The recommendation does not mean that you should
add more fat to the diet but rather that you should substitute another
source of protein in the diet with fish twice a week to reduce the
amount of saturated fat in the diet. Fish contains highly unsaturated
fat. The following list was compiled by the National Fisheries
Institute. It is a listing of fish and shellfish according to omega-3
content in a 3 Most (More than 1.0 gram) Anchovy, Atlantic bluefish,
