Fish is a high-quality lean protein, and chances are, you’re not eating enough of it. The American Heart Association and our Dietary Guidelines recommend eating two servings of seafood a week, yet about 90% of Americans don’t hit this target.

There are numerous options to help you meet these recs, and varying your seafood intake is the best way to get the health-supporting nutrients fish contains while minimizing the risk of certain chemicals that may build up in fish over time. Here’s a handy guide to the healthiest fish to put on your plate.

No. 1 best fish to eat

Sardines

Based on their affordability, shelf-stability and nutritiousness, canned sardines are the best fish to eat. Canned sardines are packed with marine-based omega-3 fatty acids, a type of fat that helps lower inflammation and has been associated with benefits ranging from a lower risk of depression to a lower risk of heart disease and stroke. Gram for gram, canned sardines have even more of this powerhouse nutrient than salmon.
