Seafood is also extremely low in fat and most of
the fat it has is poly-unsaturated or healthy kind. Because many diets
now specify poly-unsaturated fat, rather than saturated fat, fish and
shellfish make excellent choices as main dishes. The cholesterol content
of most fish is similar to that of red meat or poultry, about twenty
milligrams per ounce. Some shellfish contain more cholesterol than red
meat, but the fat is mainly poly-unsaturated.
Fish is also a good source of "B" Vitamins: B-6, B-12, biotin, and niacin. Vitamin A is found mainly in fish liver oils, but some high-fat fish are good sources of Vitamin A. Fish is a good source of several minerals, especially iron, phosphorus, potassium and zinc. Canned fish with edible bones, such as salmon or sardines, is also rich in calcium. Not only is seafood nutritious, but delicious as well. It's a delightful addition to any meal and an excellent, low-calorie source of many essential vitamins and nutrients. |
