Fish

We hear all the time that fish is rich in proteins, and blue fish in fat, including the famous Omega... What we are not told is that that fat is just where pollutant, so common in our seas, accumulates, and that the fish being farmed can also have a lot of antibiotic and additives. Let us be conscious of what fish is really providing us.

How can we do it

Let us eat fish, but without abusing. The more we eat, mainly of big carnivore (except hake and sole), the more toxins we are accumulating and the more we contribute to the over exploitation of sea.
Let us eat less often those which are fattier and which accumulate more toxins (as salmon) and those of fish farm. Here we can see the ones of each type.
We can profit all the vitamins and minerals from the little fish we eat in a bite.

Keep this in mind!

To eat fish is fine, but not the more the best.

Coastal little fishing is more sustainable ecological and socially. We will find this fish only at the fish shops and markets or through direct sale.

We have many options of getting local herbivores fish and consuming only those which entail more problems, from time to time.
