Fish or chicken??!
Answers: I like chicken and i usually eat that.But im thinking about branching out and eating fish.Healthwise which is better for you, chicken or fish?Also what is a good fish to have for first timers like me?Something that isnt too fishy and not too flakey.Any help is appreciated.
Fish is very good for you, low in fat and stuffed with essential fatty acids that promote a number of health benefits including better brain function. To get the maximum benefits, eat oily fish such as salmon or mackerel. Chicken is good for protein and low in fat (if you don't eat the skin) but fish has way more benefits. I don't like flakey or too fishy fish but tuna is usually ok for me, (fresh tuna) but don't eat it more than twice a week...it has mercury or lead or something in it, I don't remember the whole reason why:)
Hope this helps
chicken till da day dat i die
fish beats out chicken
FISH
hard to choose I like both. :)
theyre both healthy grilled.
just do fish sticks
fish is really good for you. i would go get some sushi, and try some white tuna. so good!
fish is better for you, great excuse to let yourself have sushi and try a fish sandwich if your a first time fish eater
I could eat chicken everyday!
Neither.
I'd go with fish bc it's healthier..more protein. The oldest woman ate a lot of fish and it made her live that long.
I like chicky, its my most favorite meat and yummy, but I hate fish, blech.
Shellfish is da yum.
fish.
All fish have mercury in it but if you eat too much it will harm you in the long run.....there is so many things out there we cant eat too much of.
but if you choose fish, choose salmon and remember to eat it in moderation.
Chicken is good for protein, lean chicken, which means skinless........
fish is supposed to have more "good for you" things in it than chicken, but do both to balance it out. Salmon is a great choice.
Try Salmo. You will love the texture and taste.
Recipe
heat a bit of olive oil
place a piece of salmon seasoned to your taste (pepper, all seasoning, salt)
then add onion, bell pepper, tomatoes and mushrooms in cubes and cover the sauce pan
simmer at low temperature for about 15 minutes
FISH IS BETTER!
try tilapia or orange roughy. they are pretty plain, but can be really good with the right spices.
Fish is definetly a very healthy dish.... and can be really tasty without all the extra fat you need to spice up chicken... I would try tuna steak or salmon... I actually don't like fish.. the only thing I will eat is crab... crab cakes and crab wontons don't taste like fish at all to me.. If you want to go out I would go to bonefish girll there food is affordable and tasty!!!
Fish is way more beneficial than chicken in so many ways. Fish ,like salmon, contains Omega-3 which helps develop brain cells and is linked in preventing Alzheimer's. Fish is also less fattening than chicken because 20% of chicken fat is from the skin its self.
Fish is lower in fat and contains lots of nutrients, but has some mercury content and so it's not advised that you eat it everyday. The bigger the fish, the higher the mercury content. Chicken is a good source of protein and can also be lower in fat if you don't eat the skin or the fat and you don't fry it.
you need to try a nice white fish like cod it has a mild flavor it is the same fish that or shark that is used in fish and chips places ,i think you will like it
health wise, fish.
taste wise, chicken.
Fish has less fat on it and is generally better for you. I would say saltwater redfish, flounder or maybe tilapia.
I like chicken. fish is disgusting... but shellfish is very good (crab, lobster, shrimp.)
Fish is probably the most underutilized protein in our culture. It's low in fat and cholesterol. Some of the "fattier" fish contain healthy levels of Omega-3 fatty acids - very heart healthy. I've read several studies that recommend eating fish at least 1-2 times a week.
Just watch out for the farm raised fish, especially salmon. They are raised in more confined areas and fed a controlled diet (i.e. cheap, non-nutritional feed). They tend to be higher in "bad fat", cholesterol, and most importantly, toxins. Most are fine to eat in moderation, but salmon tends to get the worst rap of any of the farmed fish varieties for its reduced nutritional qualities and higher toxin levels.
A good, fresh fish shouldn't taste "fishy". I was raised on cheap, fishy fish... I assumed they were all like that and I never discovered the joy of good fish until I was out of college. Now I love it! Tilapia is a good, mild fish to start with. I also enjoy halibut, red snapper, and orange roughy, although those tend to have a little bit stronger flavor (but still quite mild and not real fishy).
Here's a good primer on fish guidelines from a reputable source (Mayo Clinic): http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/food-an...
Of course, there's nothing wrong with eating chicken, but it has been overmarketed as a healthier meat. This was a result of several reports warning that our culture has a cholesterol problem from eating so much red meat. Now most chicken is mass-produced in confined areas. They are bred to have a lot of breast meat, because that's what we've been told is healthy. But between the lack of exercise and fresh air, and and non-nutritive feed meant to bulk them up faster, chicken has lost much of its nutritive value that it once had (along with much of the other food prevalent in our diet).
Wild fish, as long as it comes from good water, is one of the more un-messed-with foods out there (you like that term?) and has retained the nutritional value that so much of our food has lost.
<edit> I don't consider shellfish to be part of the "healthy" fish. They certainly taste the best (I'm sure many people agree they'd rather eat shrimp and lobster than cod), but they are bottom-feeders. The health benefit we get from eating fish is a direct correlation to what the fish eat. Shellfish eat the leftovers from the ocean. They are high in cholesterol and low in the "good fat".
Fish has a higher protein and less fat content. Very good source for omega 3 fatty acids as well. I have incorporated fish into my families diet over the past year and we are all much more healthy than this time last year. We still have chicken on occasion, but fish is 2-3 times weekly in our house.
Fish is very good tasting and has many nutritional benefits including Omega 3 and Omega 6. For a first timer not too fish and not too flakey. Well hopefully, any fish you try will be flakey. You could start with, haddock, cod, or dover sole. Perhaps you might start with tinned salmon or tuna.
