If you're like most people, you've probably never tried eating a fish. Most of us prefer to buy it from the supermarket rather than make our own at home. That's a shame, because there are so many delicious fish out there for your taste buds to sample. You can eat the fish raw, cooked, or stewed. You can get them in different colors, including the common white gold variety. You can also eat fish that is frozen or canned, which gives you the benefit of enjoying the freshest catch at home without having to store it in your freezer.
Live fish are typically gill-bearing, bony aquatic mammals that lack fingers and fins with toes. They often form a close relationship with tunicates, along with other crustaceans, forming the echinoderms. The word echinoderms means "with gills," and they literally mean "gills without feet." Included here are the common salmon, trout, bass, halibut, mussels, snapper, and king mackerel as well as many extinct relatives and new species. You can also eat sea anemones, starfish, brine shrimp, lobsters, snails, worms, and many other marine animals that grow on rocks or other surfaces of the ocean floor. This list can go on, but you get the point.
In addition to being delicious foods, fish also have other benefits. They contain omega-3 fatty acids that help to strengthen your immune system. Fish also contains high amounts of vitamin E and antioxidants, which help prevent diseases and even fight off cancer cells. Some fish are high in protein, which helps you feel full longer. And lastly, fish contain a variety of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and other nutrients, so they're good for your overall health. So if you have a craving for a tasty and filling meal, try some fish today.
