Eat more fish, and   have good reason! It is often presented today as a "health food" that can protect us from heart disease. This is true for fish anyway.

Even the fish "bold" (6 to 10% fat in most cases, less than half-fat meat!) rarely exceed 130 to 150 kcalories.

Besides iron, already cited, fish provides significant quantities of minerals: Phosphorus, essential component of bone; Zinc and copper, which play a vital role in the organization; Calcium, albeit concentrated in the edges, but also present in the flesh;

and trace elements varied, fluorine, selenium, cobalt, manganese ...
