Fish and shellfish are good sources of essential vitamins, such as niacin, and minerals, such as selenium and iodine.

Different types of seafood also give different health benefits. Check out the lists below.

Oily fish

  • includes fish such as salmon, mackerel, sardines, trout and herring
  • is rich in omega 3 fatty acids, which helps prevent Heart disease
  • is a good source of vitamins A and D

White fish

  • includes fish such as haddock, plaice, pollack, coley and cod
  • is very low in fat. This means, just like beans and pulses or chicken without the skin, white fish is a healthier low-fat alternative to, for example, red or processed meat that tends to be higher in fat, especially saturated fat
  • contains some omega 3 fatty acids, but at much lower levels than oily fish. See Oily fish, shellfish and omega 3 for more on omega 3 fatty acids

Shellfish

  • includes prawns, mussels and langoustine
  • is low in fat
  • is a good source of selenium, zinc, iodine and copper
  • some types such as mussels, oysters, squid and crab are also good sources of omega 3 fatty acids. (See Oily fish, shellfish and omega 3)

  • help make our bones stronger because they are good sources of calcium and phosphorus

Why goiter common in Himalayan people?

Himalayas experiences a lot of snow, which leaches iodine out of the soil. Thus, food grown on the soil lacking iodine would therefore have very low iodine content. This leads to low dietary intake of iodine and consequently iodine deficiency. Goitre is a mild symptom of iodine deficiency.
