Fish is regarded as one of the healthiest protein sources. Fish, which is high in beneficial fats, vitamins, and minerals, is considered to be excellent for the body. Many fish & seafood are high in omega-3 essential fatty acids, such as salmon, mackerel, anchovies, sardines and herring.
Although there are plenty of fish and seafood options available and all of them have key health benefits, some of them surpass the benefits of others, sardines happen to be one of them.
