Health benefits
Pompfret is considered as a super food in many regions of India on account of being an excellent source of amino acids, omega 3 fatty acids, vitamin D, B2, potassium, iron, iodine and selenium. The consumption of fish is so important that the American Heart Association recommends eating it at least two times a week to make a part of everyone’s diet.

Trivia The commercial fish industry in the United States is estimated to be around $90 billion in 2012, and demand only continues to increase at a fast pace. In fact, the haul of fishers in 2010 was weighed at around 109 million metric tons; a staggering figure which possibly contributes to disruption of our ocean’s ecosystems. |
