A little bit fishy

I love salmon. If it weren't for the environmental issues, I'd eat it twice a day and never get sick of it. I love it barbecued, steamed, baked and (especially) smoked. 

I eat it because it's delicious but it's also thought to have a number of health benefits. For a start it's a great source of Omega-3 which is critical for good health and has been shown to help in preventing coronary heart disease, high blood pressure, rheumatoid arthritis and depression. 

In addition to the environmental concerns,  the other problem with salmon is that most of the salmon on sale in fish shops is double the normal serving size. So, when you're picking your piece of salmon, ensure that each fillet is around 150gm (or choose the 300gm one and cut it in half).
