Good to know

Swapping an ingredient, spotting hidden pitfalls, setting up your kitchen: the little things that make every day easier.

  • Twice a week

    Health authorities recommend eating fish twice a week, including one oily fish (salmon, sardines, mackerel).

  • Choose sustainable fish

    Look for MSC or ASC labels and mix up the species: pollock, mackerel, sardines and mussels are all great choices.

  • Frozen is great

    Frozen right after the catch, fish keeps its quality. Thaw it in the fridge, never at room temperature.

  • Don't overcook it

    A fish fillet is done when the flesh turns opaque and flakes apart: a few minutes is often all it takes.

Your questions

What is a pescatarian diet?

It's a way of eating with no meat or poultry that keeps fish and seafood. Eggs and dairy are usually part of it.

How is it different from a vegetarian diet?

Vegetarians also leave out fish and seafood. That means every vegetarian recipe works for pescatarians too.

Which fish should I choose?

Mix it up: oily fish (salmon, sardines, mackerel) for omega-3s, white fish (cod, pollock, hake) for something lighter, and species from sustainable fisheries.

Can I eat fish every day?

It's best to vary the species and go easy on large predators (tuna, swordfish), which can contain more mercury. Pregnant women should follow their doctor's advice.
