Fish dishes provide our body with essential nutrients. In addition, they are rich and contain few calories. A dietitian explains which fish is best for your health.

Saltwater fish is known to be healthier than river fish. But the first one has a specific taste and smell.

Nutritionist Lauren Manaker recommends Alaska pollock, which does not have a strong smell when grilled and is distinguished by its mild flavor.

This fish is rich in important vitamins, such as D and B12, as well as minerals, selenium, niacin, potassium, as well as proteins, according to the expert.

Thanks to a high content of antioxidants and fatty acids, Alaska pollock helps prevent cardiovascular and oncological diseases, says the specialist.

One serving of this fish contains 50 to 1,000 milligrams of omega-3s.

One of the disadvantages of shellfish is that it can contain mercury. But Alaska pollock has a reputation for being safe and is among the fish with the least amount of this chemical element, says Manaker.
