For losing weight, choose the seafood over the very calorie-dense oils. Two little teaspoons of oil pack in 83 calories.

Fishing for the Right Seafood

At Pritikin, we have a saying, “Go lean on meat, but catch a fish.” Because fish is such a primary source of omega-3s, it can be part of a healthy, low-fat meal. We encourage you to incorporate it into your diet, but in moderation when it comes to those large predatory fish such as tuna and swordfish that have higher mercury levels.

Below are the ratings for many selections of fish, which includes how much healthy omega-3 fats, unhealthy saturated fats, cholesterol, salt, and mercury each contains. The ratings are based on the latest information from the USDA Nutrient Database, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and U.S. Food and Drug Administration. All ratings, unless otherwise noted, are based on cooked, 3½-ounce servings.

A Great Catch

The following selections are high in omega-3s and low in saturated fat, cholesterol, salt, and mercury. Enjoy these fish often, up to one serving daily.
