Essential Health Benefits
Seafood provides unique health benefits as a lean protein and is the best source for Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA & DHA), which are healthy fats essential to human health and development.
Which fish is the richest in omega-3s?
Studies show omega-3s can reduce risk of heart disease, depression, dementia and arthritis, and improve overall happiness. Prominent health organizations suggest eating a variety of seafood at least twice a week, aiming to consume an average of 250 to 500 milligrams of omega-3s EPA and DHA per day.
