Orange roughy is a deep-sea fish known for its mild flavor and flaky texture, making it a popular choice in various cuisines, especially in European and North American dishes. Originating from the deep waters of the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, orange roughy is high in protein and low in fat, offering essential nutrients such as selenium, phosphorus, and vitamin B12. While it is a heart-healthy option due to its omega-3 fatty acids, its consumption should be moderated as the fish tends to accumulate mercury during its long lifespan. Additionally, its sustainability is a concern, as orange roughy populations are slow to recover from overfishing. When sourced responsibly, it remains a lean, nutritious protein choice, best prepared by grilling, baking, or steaming to preserve its natural flavors and nutrients.
