White, Lean Fish

Cod, perch, pollock, and haddock are some examples of white, lean fish. These fish varieties are a great source of high-quality protein and are low in fat and calories. A cooked 3-ounce (85-gram) serving of white fish has 16–20 grams of protein, 1 gram of fat, and 70–100 calories.

Whitefish makes a great source of lean protein. With almost no saturated fats or cholesterol, it has low fat and high protein composition. In addition to its many other health advantages, such as a lower risk of depression and Alzheimer's disease than its main rival red meat, white fish also has heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids that are essential for good brain function. In addition, these fish provide a number of necessary vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin B12, phosphorus, selenium, and niacin. Whitefish tastes mild, therefore bold seasonings go well with it. They taste well in blackened, roasted, or grilled fish tacos.
