Blue fish is rich and nutritious. It can also be considered the humble relative of the 'almadraba albacore tuna'. It is known as lemon fish because of the yellow or golden stripes that color its back. It is a first-class fish mainly due to the 'exquisite' diet it maintains. For the youngest diners in the family, it is a good introduction to start eating fish since it has almost no bones and no scales. But it is also important to highlight its nutritional qualities. It is rich in proteins, carbohydrates, omega 3 fatty acids, minerals such as iron, calcium, potassium, zinc, and sodium. Not to mention its contents of vitamins: A, E, B, B9, B12, and B3. To choose the best specimen, you should look for the shiny tone of its scales, the greenish color of its eyes, and the golden intensity of its back. It is highly demanded in gastronomy, especially used in Japanese cuisine, being very popular for preparing one of the main dishes of that culture: sushi, which is already on our tables.
