Most types of fish are packed with omega-3 fatty acids, which are good for the skin. Fish is also a good source of many vitamins and minerals like calcium, iron, potassium, and vitamins D and B2.<\/p>\n<p>Your parents want to enjoy more fish, but they only have tried a few of the staples. They enjoy salmon, tuna, cod, and haddock. What other kinds of fish should they try this year?<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Atlantic Mackerel<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Mackerel is often overlooked, but it should be at the top of your parents&#8217; list. It&#8217;s a cousin to tuna, but the fish are smaller. A serving has 2.5 grams of omega-3 fatty acids. It can have a stronger flavor than whitefish, but trimming away the skin and darer meat under the skin will get you to the milder tasting fish.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Bluefish<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Bluefish is an oily fish with a unique flavor that remains very moist when cooked. A serving has 0.83 grams of omega-3 fatty acids. Pair the oily fish with an acidic sauce, such as a tomato herb sauce, to balance the flavors.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Hake<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Silver hake is a cousin of cod. It has a similar flavor, but it&#8217;s a little more delicate and soft. It&#8217;s just as easy to cook as cod. Broil it with some lemon and fresh herbs or put it in parchment paper packages with a drizzle of avocado oil, salt, and pepper. It has around 0.2 grams of omega-3 fatty acids per serving.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Monkfish<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Known as \u201cpoor man&#8217;s lobster,\u201d monkfish isn&#8217;t pretty and looks a lot like the anglerfish family it&#8217;s from. The meat all comes in the tail, so bones are unlikely. It&#8217;s a firm-textured fish that has a mild, sweet flavor similar to lobster or scallops. It has trace amounts of omega-3 fatty acids, so it&#8217;s not a fatty fish, but it&#8217;s still worth trying.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Sablefish<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Sablefish or black cod has a high oil content. When it comes to omega-3 fatty acids, you can&#8217;t do much better than sablefish as it has 1.6 grams per serving. As it is very fatty, it stays moist when grilled or roasted. It has a delicate, buttery flavor that&#8217;s going to be a hit with your mom and dad.<\/p>\n<p>Have you looked at having senior care providers available to cook meals for your parents?
