The truth about fish is that we don’t have anywhere near enough fish in our diets, even though the choice and variety of fish recipes seems endless. The seas are abundant with food of many kinds, yet, strange as it may seem, few people bother with more than six or seven types of fish in their culinary range.
We should be eating fish two or three times a week, to keep healthy, instead of once in a blue moon. Most doctors, specialists and nutritionists who all agree that if you want to be healthier, sharper, fitter and more mobile as you get older then fish is the thing to eat. And the time to eat it is now. It’s no good eating smoked mackerel for the first time when you are falling apart at the age of forty. The Japanese eat more fish per head than any other country in the world, and they are healthier and live longer.
Those who live close to the sea-shore and coastal rivers are at an advantage, because they are close to the supply. But modern refrigerated transport facilities bring these briny morsels, with their valuable nutritive iodine and other mineral salts to inlanders while the world sleeps.
