If seasonality of fruits and vegetables is important to you, then why not apply the same rules to fish? Buying seasonal fish shows respect for the environment, and it guarantees a higher quality than what’s usually served. Not to mention it’s cheaper to buy fish in season.
What fish should you eat during winter?
Lucky for us in Italy, we have the Mediterranean Sea, which is very rich in blue fish such as anchovies, sardines, tuna, mackerel, amberjack, and other varieties of fish rich in Omega-3 vitamins and fatty acids. But if we want to make a sustainable choice and buy only seasonal fish, which varieties are best for the winter? We suggest opting for anchovy, sardine, squid, calamari, mullet, snapper, dogfish, mazzancolle, octopus, hake, sea bream, hermit crab, octopus, turbot, redfish, cuttlefish, mackerel, sole, sea bass, bluefin tuna and clam. So now that we know which fish to eat, let’s find out how to make them!
