Nutrition Tips

Fish digests faster than meat. The carbohydrate content is almost zero. The lipid content can be classified into 3 categories: Lean fish: pike, hake, flounder, whiting, sole, trout and various shellfish; Semi-fatty fish: farmed carp, conger eel, mackerel, mullet, sardines and fatty fish: eel, salmon, tuna. The fish can be consumed in place of meat, in the same quantities, at least 2 times per week. To reduce the potassium level of this dish, you can first slice the carrots and soak them in lukewarm water for 2 hours, discarding the water.
