Fish are important because they contribute essential nutrients to their ecosystems, according to researchers at the University of Georgia and Florida International University. The nutrients provided by fish aid in the development of other organisms and helps regulate the ecosystem’s food web Why is eating fish healthy? … White-fleshed fish, in particular, is lower in fat than any other source of animal protein, and oily fish are high in omega-3 fatty acids, or the “good” fats. Since the human body can’t make significant amounts of these essential nutrients, fish are an important part of the diet. A fish is any member of a paraphyletic group of organisms that consist of all gill-bearing aquatic craniate animals that lack limbs with digits. Included in this definition are the living hagfish, lampreys, and cartilaginous and bony fish, as well as various extinct related groups. Fish have a closed-loop circulatory system. The heart pumps the blood in a single loop throughout the body. In most fish, the heart consists of four parts, including two chambers and an entrance and exit. … The bulbus arteriosus connects to the aorta, through which blood flows to the gills for oxygenation. Seafood is generally low in cholesterol, which is important for heart health. It’s rich in vitamins and minerals including iodine, zinc, potassium, and vitamin B. One of the major seafood health benefits comes from their abundance of Omega-3 fatty acids, a type of polyunsaturated fat

@ATUA MOSES, YOU SAID IT WELL. THANK YOU FOR that Information YOU ADDED.
FISH ARE TRUELY ESSENTIAL AND BENEFICIAL TO OUR HEALTH.

Had I not read this post of yours, I wouldn’t know the many health benefits of this fish , eel.

This is actually the favorite of my husband and daughter. When we go to a food court, they would always want the fried eel and they would eat them with so much gusto. They dip it in soy sauce with drops of lemon.

And when at home and I fry eel for lunch, they would eat it with their bare hands.

Thank you for posting this.

This fish has a light, kind of sweet taste, when you eat it in Unagi, a popular Japanese dish. Kind of similar to salmon but with a firmer meat. Personally, once I soak it in soy sauce, I can’t really tell much difference between a raw eel and a raw salmon, anymore.

Some people might say it tastes a bit bland, but if you like eating squid, like me, you’re going to like it just fine. Texture is definitely not similar to squid, though.

When an eel is cooked, I heard some people describing it as something that feels like chicken but I personally don’t feel it was that hard. It probably depends on the way it was cooked. If you want to get the best eel menus, try to find authentic eel restaurants, especially Japanese ones. Eel meat is very absorbent and tastes really good with sauces and whatever seasoning it goes with.

Catfish is also a good point of reference, since catfish exhibit a lot of eel qualities without the remarkable price. If you have tried other exotics foods like snakes and frog, other people have compared the taste of eel to those. Among all these comparisons, the closest I would say it is to, is a catfish.

Japanese’s belief that eels will keep them healthy and beautiful is not just some misled belief to keep the market buying and eating eels. According to more modern studies, eels are one of the most nutritious food a human body can take.

Not only are eels rich in protein, they are also rich in unsaturated fat, calcium and many others, to say the least. Eels also contain Vitamin E, known to improve skin conditions, which goes to say they are not wrong in thinking eels will keep their women beautiful.

With the number of nutrients you get on a serving of eel, it is only just to say that this is definitely one the best foods to add to our regular diet. You can prepare your own dish today with this easy eels recipe!

The eel industry is now a billion dollar industry that keeps people coming for more. Japan has once been one of the largest exporters and consumers of eels, and while there is no definitive study yet as to why their eels have suddenly gone away, it only goes to show that we do not have an unlimited supply for everything.

“Is Eel fish good for pregnant women?” This is the question that pop- up from my mind upon reading my post the second time.

And yes, it is safe to consume eel while expecting, but in moderate quantities. As eating anything in excess, during this delicate phase, can spell danger for both you and your baby. Also, make sure you fully cook the eel to at least 145°F before consuming it during pregnancy. Eating the cooked fish aids in minimizing the risk of stomach infection and food poisoning. It is also advisable to consult your doctor before adding Eel to your pregnancy diet
