Baked Fish Is Healthy!
According to research, eating tuna and other types of fatty fish seems to help protect against memory loss and stroke, although the same results were not found in people who regularly ate fried fish.
In 2005, Harvard researchers reported their finding that, compared with eating fried fish less than once a month, eating fried fish more than once per week was associated with a 44 percent higher risk of stroke (Mozaffarian D et al. 2005). The term "fried fish" includes foods such as breaded, deep-fried fish sticks and fish sandwich fillets.

I have never cooked fish in my life (unless frozen fishsticks count!), and have always been scared to attempt it. My husband is in charge of cooking the fish in our household!

Hi,
Nice lens, great job. I've just created some lenses about grilled salmon, baked fish
and smoked salom. When you have time it would be nice if you visit them.
