Every time I see any news about raw food parasites, it will cause a wave of marine fish to admire. Are marine fish really more nutritious than freshwater fish?
Marine fish are no more nutritious than freshwater fish
China's Internet joint rumor refutation platform said on March 1 that it is not.
According to modern nutrition, both marine and freshwater fish are rich in nutrients that are beneficial to the human body, such as proteins, fats, minerals, and vitamins.
In terms of protein content, there is not much difference between the two, except that most marine fish have a higher DHA content. However, some freshwater fish are not low in DHA, such as sea bass, crucian carp, sturgeon, etc. Among them, the DHA content of sea bass is higher than that of common marine fish such as salmon, hairtail, and yellow croaker.
In short, whether it is marine fish or freshwater fish, fish meat is high-quality protein**, and there is not much difference in terms of nutritional content, you can choose according to your preferences.
Does marine fish smell stronger than freshwater fish
The fishy smell of marine fish is usually stronger than that of freshwater fish.
Marine fish live in a saltwater environment, and the salt and trace elements in the body are high, which will lead to the rapid degradation of amino acids and the production of more odorous substances, which will make the fishy smell of marine fish heavier. Freshwater fish, on the other hand, live in freshwater, and their bodies are relatively low in salt and trace elements, so the fishy smell of freshwater fish is usually lighter.
In addition, the fishy smell on the body of marine fish is the authentic fishy smell on the fish, which is mainly produced by substances such as trimethylamine, while the fishy smell on the freshwater fish is mainly the taste of the earth, which is called "earthy smell".
