About Nile perch
Nile Perch is a freshwater fish native to Africa's Nile River and its surrounding lakes. Prized for its mild, flaky white flesh and versatility, it features prominently in African, Middle Eastern, and global cuisines. A rich source of high-quality protein, Nile Perch is also packed with essential nutrients such as omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin D, and potassium, supporting heart health, brain function, and strong bones. While it is low in carbohydrates and saturated fats, its moderate fat content provides a healthy energy source. However, portion control is key, as larger fish may contain higher levels of contaminants like mercury. Sustainable sourcing is another consideration, as Nile Perch has contributed to ecosystem imbalances in some regions where it was introduced. When consumed in moderation and sourced responsibly, Nile Perch offers a nutritious addition to a balanced diet.
