Fried fish - yes or no?

[Cuddlysac]

I'm always reading that people should eat more fish to improve their health, eyesight, intellect etc.  I read all about fatty acids, omega this and that, GLA, DHA, EPA etc etc.  I live a very hectic life (if I'm not in work, I'm out partying) so I don't always have time to eat properly.  I often have to grab something from the local chip shop on the way home.

My question is - if the deep-fried fresh cod doing me any good at all?  Or would I be as well off getting some fried chicken (which is much tastier)?

The cod is good, the batter/frying is not! You are better off getting some fresh salmon, bunging it in the oven for 30 mins on 200 degrees and having that with some UNCLE BEN'S express rice- takes 1 min to cook!

I am also ridiculously busy, but it is better to try and be healthy. Your body will thank you for it in the long run!

While I agree that cod is good for you, I believe that the omega stuff is found in fish oil or oily fish, of which cod is not. Pop a cod liver oil tablet and eat grilled chicken instead!!

Don't waste your monet on cod liver oil tablets - eat some oily fish. Mackerel, kippers are great if you can be bothered cooking them but if not try a tin of John West Skippers in tomato sauce either on toast or with a load of salad.

The odd fish supper won't do you any harm but personally I wouldn't touch salmon.

Fresh tuna is oily but tinned is not. Sorry for the rambling.
