Fish Sticks for Good Health? Maybe not

Trying to make healthy choices by choosing that Fillet-o-fish instead of a fat burger? Well a new study from the American Heart Association indicates that not all fish are equal and eating fried fish probably doesn't give one much of the beneficial omega-3 fatty acids that are so good for your heart. The problem besides the deep frying is that the fish that are typically fried are lighter ones like cod or other lean fish instead of the more oily types like salmon.

Overall one should eat more fish but try it baked or broiled and skip the deep fryer and fish sticks.
