Interesting survey about eating fish!!

Who would have thought that the lonely mackerel was so good for you???

Atlantic Mackerel
Nutrition (per 3 OZ. serving): 174 calories, 11.8 g fat (2.8 g saturated fat), 76 mg sodium, 0 g carbs, 0 g fiber, 0 g sugar
Protein (g per 3 OZ.): 15.8
Omega-3s (mg per 3 OZ.): 1,954
Mercury levels (parts per billion): 45
Listed on Seafood Watch’s “Super Green List,” this fish is a triple threat: its low in mercury, provides almost eight times the recommended omega-3 intake per day, and is classified as a Seafood Watch “Best Choice” in terms of sustainability. Just watch out for canned mackerel, which can have mercury levels up to 586 ppb.


I know I was biased toward the spiny lobster, now I have more information on it.
Spiny Lobster
Nutrition (per 3 OZ. serving): 95 calories, 1.3 g fat (0.2 g saturated fat), 150 mg sodium, 0 g carbs, 0 g fiber, 0 g sugar
Protein (g per 3 OZ.): 17.5
Omega-3s (mg per 3 OZ.): 317
Mercury levels (parts per billion): 100
This lobster lacks the terrifying claws characteristic of its Maine cousin but makes up for it in its abundance of protruding barbs. Typically found in warmer seas in the Caribbean and Mediterranean, their tails are packed with omega-3s, and the whole lobster provides 122 percent of your daily recommended vitamin B12, a vitamin unique to animal sources that facilitates proper nerve function.

Northern Lobster
Nutrition (per 3 OZ. serving): 65 calories, 0.6 g fat (0.2 g saturated fat), 360 mg sodium, 0 g carbs, 0 g fiber, 0 g sugar
Protein (g per 3 OZ.): 14
Omega-3s (mg per 3 OZ.): 145
Mercury levels (parts per billion): 200
A staple of any trip to Maine, this northern lobster has a surprising low omega-3 concentration but maintains solid protein levels. You’ll have to eat double the amount of this lobster to get the same omega-3 levels as its spiny cousin (more on that later). Craving this seafood specialty? It’s one of 25 restaurant meals under 500 calories at Red Lobster.

Here is the link for the rest of the ratings:
