Recommended quantity:
Eating fish twice a week is advised by the American Heart Association, particularly fatty fish like salmon, mackerel, and herring. Each serving contains 99.2 grams (3.5 ounces) of fish oil after consumption, or about ¾ cup. However, children should eat fish in large quantities (about the size of a palm).
General advice before eating fish:
• When eating fish, describe the type and size; Because smaller fish are less susceptible than larger fish, as they eat insects, they are less vulnerable.
• Proper cleaning and preparation of fish; This will reduce the cost of some medications.
• Use appropriate methods to prevent bacterial growth.
• Keep fish out of direct sunlight.
• Avoid soups that contain fish fillets.
• Reduce your consumption of fried fish and eat grilled fish instead.
• Warning: Some contaminants, such as mercury and other contaminants, can cause serious harm to pregnant women, nursing mothers, and children; therefore, this group should be cautious when eating fish.
