Fish are high in omega-3 fatty acids which have numerous health benefits and are one of the leanest meat sources you can choose. The American Health Association recommends two servings per week with an emphasis on fatty fish (salmon, herring, and mackerel).
As mercury is a concern there are species to be avoided, these include golden snapper, swordfish, king mackerel, and shark. These predators consume large amounts of other fish and thus have higher levels of mercury.
The main benefits you'll derive are a healthier heart and a healthier brain. Supplements are available, but suppressed immune function has been noted when taken daily for over 3 weeks at a time. Sometimes too much of a good thing can be harmful.
Take care your health. Eat healthy!
