Good for the brain and for the eyes, the food of longevity.

Fish is considered to be one of the healthiest types of food. However, some research indicates that not all types of fish are as healthy as we previously thought. It appears that some have high level of mercury, so they are not as healthy and if consumed regularly can also be dangerous to our health. See which are the healthiest and the most dangerous types of fish:

Herring

The herring is another type of fish good for the heart. They are a good source of protein - about 20g of protein in 90 g of herring.

Flounder

Rich in omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin D, and potassium, the flounder if one of the healthiest types of fish. Besides that, the flounder is delicious in many forms of preparation.
