Fish
Fish fits into a healthy and varied diet!

Herring, salmon, mackerel, kipper and sardines

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.
