About Small fish
Small fish, such as sardines, anchovies, and mackerel, are nutrient-dense seafood options popular in Mediterranean, Asian, and Latin American cuisines. Packed with high-quality protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and essential vitamins like B12 and D, they support heart health, brain function, and strong bones. These fish are rich in minerals such as calcium, selenium, and iodine, and their small size often means softer, edible bones, providing an added calcium boost. Low on the food chain, small fish accumulate fewer toxins like mercury, making them a safer option compared to larger species. While typically enjoyed grilled, canned, or cured, some preparations, like high-sodium pickled varieties, may not be ideal for those watching their salt intake. Sustainable and environmentally friendly, small fish are an excellent addition to a balanced diet, offering immense health benefits without depleting ocean ecosystems.
