What is oily fish?


Oily fish

======

Salmon, mackerel, sardines, trout and herring are all examples of oily fish. Oily fish are:

  • high in long-chain omega-3 fatty acids, which may help prevent heart disease
  • a good source of vitamin D

Some oily fish contain bones that you eat. These include whitebait, canned sardines, pilchards and tinned salmon (but not fresh salmon), (my note -->) and canned mackerel 


These fish can help keep our bones strong because they are good sources of calcium and phosphorus.
