UK health experts recommend that people should try to eat two portions of fish per week, one of which should be an oily fish such as herring or mackerel.

Eating two portions of fish per week ( #my2aweek ) brings many benefits to your health, as fish is packed with vitamins, minerals and other nutrients that keep our bodies in good working order.

In particular, oily fish is loaded with heart-healthy omega 3 fatty acids, and is ideal for grilling and baking.
