It is commonly known that fish is one of the best choice for consumption with less harmful substances compared to live-stock that we got on the land. But it is advisable to avoid big fishes as they may be tainted up to a certain degree due to the oil-spills in the ocean these days.
It is said that the best choice of fishes would be the ones in moderate size, softest meat, lives in fresh water that flows, those which eat plants and the ones with scales, the finer the better as the scales filters out harmful substances that tries to go into the body of the fish.
The meat from a seafish is said to be tougher and harder to digest, but may be beneficial for fertility purposes.
