What is a Serving?

The recommended serving of fish is about the size and thickness of your hand. Give children smaller servings. For small fish species, several individual fish may make up a single serving.

Preparing and Cooking Fish

  • For fish, eat only the skinless fillet.
  • For shellfish, eat only the meat.
  • Some chemicals are higher in the skin, fat, and guts.
  • Remove and throw away the skin before cooking.
  • Cook thoroughly and allow the juices to drain away.

    heart healthy  =  Fish that are high in omega-3s and you can eat them at least once a week.
