Among the fish commonly consumed must distinguish those with low content of fat and those so-called blue for being richer in lipids. Although fats that have the fish are good for health, it is always good if we take care of the amount, knowing their fat content.

For this reason, we have developed the following table in which we present the fish grouped according to their fat content. To do this we will call lean to possessing less than 2 grams of lipids per 100 grams, half to have between 2 and 8 grams of fat and to those who have more than 8 percent of fat referred them to as fatty.

As we can see, we have to choose from a variety of fish with low fat or higher content of healthy fatty acids.

If we know that our fish we acompañaremos with dried fruit or olive oil, sometimes we do not need to have a fatty fish, but we can use a lean fish, like if we want to take care of the amount of calories and fat in the diet.

While if we want to consume more omega-3 to take advantage of the benefits we can use a fatty fish.

So we choose with knowledge and according to our needs, here you have the most consumed fish grouped according to their fat content.
