More people should include fish in their diet because it brings many advantages to their health. Starting with the fact that it can diminish mood swings, fish is also important because it has vitamin D, helps the bones remain strong, improves the sight and the functions of the brain. It is indeed a strange thing to see such a difference between fish and various other types of meat. But the answer is quite simple: the oceans are filled with algae that have high nutritional values and, guess what, fish eat algae.

Cooking

Here the issues might turn to be more serious that we have thought. Many believe that seafood is boring in terms of

cooking and has a strong taste. However, if you have some imagination, cooking will become a piece of cake. The

options are varied and very surprising. The first thing you have to do is divide fish into two categories: red and white.

Learn your fish

Before cooking you should know the main features of each type of fish meat. Red fish is rich in vitamins C and D as well

as Omega oils, while white fish has plenty of anti-oxidants and proteins. You will be able to differentiate the two types of

fish meat by their taste. Many people consider that white fish has a sort of distinct smell, but the red fish also has similar

features.

Buying

When you want to try out a fish dinner, make sure you search well first. Don't be shy in asking a specialized person

where does the fish come from (farm, harbor etc). In addition to this you might also get some great services like gutting,

skinning, portioning or pulling the bones out.

Freshness

Fresh fish is essential for the success of your dinner. Obviously, all sellers will tell you that their fish is fresh, but you

cannot always trust their statements, right? So examine it yourself! You can figure out if the fish is not fresh by smelling

it but also by looking at it. The white dish appears to be very dry and patchy, while the red one can lose its color and

break up in pieces. Just don't mistake the red fish that loses its color in contact with the water with the old one. And last

but not least, keep in mind that whole fish has more flavor. Asian people know it better, so if you see one in a store, you

might want to pay attention to what he is buying.

Seasoning

This is very important when cooking fish. Try to keep in your kitchen as many spices as possible. If you do not know what

type works with fish, try sea-salt, herbs, paprika or pepper. These will be of great help when doing marinades to make

your fish irresistible.
