About Fish bones

Fish bones are a nutrient-rich component often overlooked in culinary practices. Found in cuisines around the world, especially in Asian and Mediterranean cooking, they are used to make broths, stocks, or ground into powder for a calcium boost. Fish bones are an excellent source of minerals like calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium, which are vital for bone health and overall body function. Packed with trace amounts of collagen and omega-3 fatty acids, they can also support skin health and cardiovascular wellness when used in moderation. However, they must be thoroughly processed or cooked to ensure safety, as sharp edges can pose a choking risk. While generally low in fat, excessive consumption of fish bone-based products may lead to excessive mineral intake, which could burden the kidneys. When prepared properly, fish bones offer a nutritious, sustainable way to enjoy the full benefits of seafood.
