Pesce, the Italian word for fish, is a cornerstone of Mediterranean cuisine celebrated for its diversity and health benefits. Common varieties include salmon, sardines, cod, tuna, and anchovies, each offering unique textures and flavors. Packed with high-quality protein, fish is a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids, essential for heart and brain health. It also provides important vitamins and minerals, including vitamin D, selenium, and iodine. Fatty fish like salmon and mackerel are particularly prized for their anti-inflammatory properties, while lean options like cod and tilapia are lower in calories. However, some types of fish can contain mercury, making moderation key for certain species such as tuna or swordfish. Fresh fish, grilled, baked, or steamed, is a staple in Mediterranean diets for its health benefits and versatility, embodying the balance of nutrition and flavor.
