It’s kind of like comparing a supermarket tomato to that of your grandmother’s garden: they look the same, but the quality isn’t the same.
How do you make an informed choice?
Faced with sometimes incomplete or unupdated data on marine pollution, caution and common sense remain your best allies. Give preference to fish:
Rich in omega-3 (see nutritional values)
Small and wild
Fished in poorly polluted areas (avoid industrial areas)
In the ocean, not all fish are equal.
To benefit fully from the benefits of seafood without suffering the drawbacks, it is sufficient to make the right choices. Integrate omega-3, low-mercury-rich species into your meals, and avoid overly contaminated predatory fish.
