Health Benefits:
Fish is a good source of nutrition and many kinds of fish are low-cost and easy to prepare. DOH recommends people eat a variety of fish and shellfish as part of a balanced diet.

• Fish is an excellent low-fat food, a great source of protein, vitamins and minerals.
• The oils in fish are important for unborn and breastfed babies.
• Eating a variety of fish helps to reduce your chances of stroke or heart attack.

Fish and Your Heart:
Omega-3 fatty acids are polyunsaturated fatty acids found in all seafood, including shellfish, oysters and shrimp. When combined with a healthful eating plan, research suggests these fatty acids may help protect against heart disease, including lowering the risk for heart attacks and sudden cardiac arrest due to an irregular heartbeat.
While there are no specific dietary recommendations for omega-3 fatty acids, studies show the protective effects of omega-3s can be achieved by eating fresh water fish and seafood twice a week. Since there are more than 200 species of fish and shellfish available, adding fish and shellfish to your weekly eating plan is easy. (Information About Omega-3s Courtesy of the American Dietetic Association.)

Protecting Against Stroke:
Eating a variety of fish on a regular basis may help to reduce your chances of some common types of stroke. Stokes and heart attacks can occur due to blood clots, and blood clots are caused when platelets (a part of blood) clump.  Fish, like aspirin, keep platelets from clumping and, therefore, help prevent clots.
 
Fish are Important:
In Washington State, fish and shellfish are not only important sources of nutrition, catching, preparing and eating fish are important cultural and family practices as well.

Seafood is a rich source of protein, vitamins, and minerals; many varieties of seafood are also low in sodium and cholesterol. Not only is seafood delicious, but it's nutritious as well. It's a delightful addition to any meal and is an excellent, low-calorie source of many essential nutrients. Seafood contains about twenty percent of the high quality proteins of red meat and poultry. It is also low in fat and most of the fat it has is poly-unsaturated. Because many diets now specify poly-unsaturated fat, rather than saturated fat, fish and shellfish make excellent main dishes. Some fish are relatively high in fat such as salmon, mackerel and catfish. However, the fat is primarily unsaturated.

Vitamin source
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".

Mineral source
Fish is a good source of several minerals, especially iron, phosphorus, potassium and zinc. Canned fish with edible bones, such as salmon or sardines, are also rich in calcium.
