Healthy Fish Recipes

Though eating fish is considered healthy, in fact it is recommended by doctors to some, many people still avoid fish mainly because of the fear of calories. Actually this fact is very contradictory as fish itself contains very less calories compared to other red meats. But we cannot consume fish just like that and nor can we boil it like an egg, so we apply many spices to it and deep-fry it in lots of oil; the resulting product does contain a lot of calories! So if you do not want to increase your calories but also want to have fish, simply scroll down and read the healthy fish recipes.
