Fish

Fish are aquatic animals that are a source of protein and other nutrients. They can be found in both saltwater and freshwater environments and are harvested for consumption. Fish can be consumed whole, filleted, or processed into various food products.

Fish is a primary ingredient in many savoury dishes, providing protein and a distinct flavour. It is commonly found in ready meals, canned goods, and as a main component in dishes like fish pies, curries, and sandwiches. Its versatility allows it to be prepared in numerous ways, from baking and frying to smoking and curing.

Fish is a naturally occurring foodstuff and not a food additive. It is a valuable source of protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and various vitamins and minerals. The UK's Eatwell Guide recommends eating at least two portions of fish per week, one of which should be oily fish, for its health benefits. Some individuals may have allergies to fish.
