Fish is a low-fat, high-protein food that offers several health advantages. More so than any other type of animal protein, white-fleshed fish has the lowest fat content, and oily fish are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, or the "good" fats. Fish play a crucial role in the diet since the human body is unable to produce considerable amounts of these vital nutrients. Additionally, fish has little of the so-called omega-6 fatty acids, which are often present in red meat.
