Why choose fish?

It is not only delicious but it is also one of the most nutritious foods we can eat. The British Nutrition Foundation say we should be eating at least two portions of fish every week, at least one of which should be oil-rich

Compared with other protein rich foods, fish is excellent value for money: there is generally little wastage, it is quick to cook, easy to prepare and extremely versatile.
