Fish

Fish fits into a healthy and varied diet!

Examples of fatty fish:
Herring, salmon, mackerel, kipper and sardines

Cod, coalfish, plaice, tilapia, seafood

Healthy

Fish is good for your health. The fatty acids in fish protect against cardiovascular diseases. Fatty fish in particular contains many healthy fatty acids.

How many fish do you need?

Eat 1 portion of fish (100 grams) 1-2 times a week. Preferably choose fatty fish. This can be fresh, frozen or canned fish.

Salted fish

Smoked fish such as salmon and eel, pickled (sweet and sour) fish (such as herring and rolmops), salted fish (such as herring, stockfish and anchovies) contain a lot of salt. Too much salt increases the risk of high blood pressure. Therefore, choose salted types of fish only occasionally.

Frozen fish

Frozen and canned fish are cheaper than fresh fish, and are just as healthy.

Sustainable

Fish is healthy, but overfishing should be avoided. Therefore, eat fish only 1-2 times a week.
