Fish should be an essential part of our weekly diet. The American Heart Association suggests that all individuals should eat fish twice every week to maintain their heart health on par. The benefits of consuming fish regularly are next to countless, as it seems to do wonders for people suffering from arthritis, those who have a high risk of Alzheimer’s and other types of dementia, and even people who are depressed.

The oils and fatty acids that exist in some fish species are great for brain health and for maintaining your arteries clean and clog-free. Unfortunately, fish isn’t the most appealing thing to eat, and that’s mostly due to the fact that you do need a bit of imagination to make the most out of it.

If you would like to learn more about the topic of how you can cook excellent fish dishes, we have compiled a list of three great resources that you can use to create culinary masterpieces.

Fishing magazines

It stands to reason that you might not have a fishing magazine subscription if you aren’t into angling at all. However, from what we’ve gathered, fishers are also keen on cooking their catches, and that probably comes from a somewhat primeval need to demonstrate our abilities to survive in the wild.

There are loads of publications that you can get a subscription to, but our favorites are Field & Stream, Bassmaster, and Fly Fisherman. These three are great for folks looking for new angling locations and even ideas they can use to make the most of their fishing equipment.

Not all of them publish recipes, but they do so once in a while, and the fact is that their dishes are always easy to make and less time-consuming than those cooked by some professional chef on TV.  

Wikipedia

If you aren’t into angling, the first thing you ought to do is invest a bit of time in a research process. You first have to find out more about the species you should consume in order to take advantage of the health benefits of eating fish. Wikipedia has a host of edible fish, and once you’ve come across it, we suggest reading more about each species in part.

If you do this, you’ll find out lots of interesting things, and you’ll even be able to choose a nice meal to cook. For example, catfish is cooked in a certain fashion in the South, but the rest of America might eat it differently.

Jamie Oliver’s site

There’s no doubt that Jamie Oliver is one of the most sought-after chefs on the planet. While he might be somewhat less popular in the States, he’s won the hearts of all Europeans with his easy-to-make recipes that take as little time as possible, and yet always manage to turn out delicious.

There’s an entire section on the chef’s website dedicated to fish recipes, and at the time this article was written, there are more than 150 recipes available on there.
