In most cases, lower fat foods are considered better for you health -- except when it comes to fish. Fish--especially the fatty kinds--are are considered a super-food in terms of their healthy qualities, one in patrticular: Omega-3 fatty acids. Fatty fishes include yummy varieties like salmon, tuna, mackerel, trout and even sardines. Not that other fish varieties aren't healthy, but you should try to get some of these ones in. For example,4-oz of Salmon offer 83% of your recommended amount of Omega-3, while cod only offers 15%.

The ADA currently recommends two 4-oz servings of fatty fish a week, and although its extremely healthy, it's also high in calories, so be sure to watch what you eat, even when it comes to fish.
