Study: Only Broiled, Baked Fish Help Heart - Yahoo! News

Aong similar lines to the story below that says all low fat diets are not the same, all fish is not the same according to a new Harvard study.

Study: Only Broiled, Baked Fish Help Heart - Yahoo! News: "'All fish meals may not be equal,' said Dr. Dariush Mozaffarian of the Harvard Medical School."

Short version? Low fat fish probably do not have enough Omega-3 in them and frying is not good for you:

"people who regularly consumed broiled or baked fish were more likely to have a lower heart rate and blood pressure, and better blood flow to the heart.

In contrast, those who regularly consumed fried fish or fish sandwiches showed signs of hardening arteries and other cardiac problems."

So ask for the baked fish, not the fried :)
