About Pescada

Pescada, the Portuguese term for hake fish, is a light, flaky white fish commonly found in Mediterranean and Portuguese cuisines. Known for its mild flavor and delicate texture, pescada is a versatile ingredient used in soups, stews, baked dishes, or simply grilled. It is an excellent source of lean protein while being low in fat and calories, making it a healthy choice for weight management and muscle development. Rich in essential nutrients like vitamin B12, selenium, and phosphorus, pescada supports immune function, nerve health, and bone strength. Additionally, it provides omega-3 fatty acids, which promote heart health and reduce inflammation. However, pescada should be consumed in moderate quantities due to potential exposure to environmental contaminants. When cooked with healthy methods such as steaming or grilling and paired with fresh vegetables, pescada can be a wholesome addition to a balanced diet.
