Oily fish.

[Georgiesmum]

Our doctors say everyone should eat oily fish at least three times a week. These include sardines, fresh salmon and mackerel, etc. Do you?

[baza]

only a couple of times a week as i dont like sardines but i am partial to smoked mackerel.

[Old_Geezer]

Not 3 times but usually at least once.

[woofgang]

nope...I do take fish oil supplements though. If I ate everything that "our doctors" say we should eat, i wouldn't have any room for the stuff that I choose!

[Sqad]

Yes.......we do.

[Georgiesmum]

"Oily fish" includes trout, salmon,mackerel,herring, sardines, eel, whitebait,sprats, fresh tuna and kippers.

[Robinia]

Yes, most weeks I do.

[B00]

nope

[erin-x]

I don't like fish =s

So no...

[Traci66]

I prefer fish to meat especially salmon and mackerel, so I do.

[pastafreak]

According to the Food Standards Agency-it's 2 portions of fish per week-with one being oily fish.

There is such a thing as eating too much because oily fish is prone to containing pollutants.

I usually have 1-2 portions.

[funnygirl]

Yes, I love fish whether oily or not!
Tonight for a snack I have some squid rings which I will batter up and fry.

[cazzz1975]

what about people allergic to fish and shellfish, what is the alternative to the doctors guidelines?

[craft1948]

I'll have it twice a week, usually fresh salmon or tuna, and I do like sardines on hot buttered toast for lunch.

Linseed oil also provides Omega 3, I think

[magicmick]

Yes same here twice a week smoked mackerel, salmon, I did not realise trout fell into oily fish catagory will try that also

[cazzz1975]

I thought there was more to eating fish than purely as a source of omega 3?

[Mick-Talbot]

such a thing as too much ?

Well I'm well polluted

[askyourgran]

We usually have at least one serving of fish per week, this week it was fresh salmon, not cheap, I could have bought a peice of beef for what I paid. I like sardines and I do try to eat oily fish once a week at least not usually three times though.

[magicmick]
