Do the Hoki Pokey??


Okay....when it comes to doses of the Omega 3 the best source is fish BUT you can not eat too much fish because of the mercury and dioxins........so what is a girl to do??

Well after researching.. the safest fish to eat is .....Hoki. Pretty fish...no. Kosher....I guess not. However it has a line of fat that runs through the center of each filet that is rich in Omega 3 and Omega 3 promotes good heart health. Hoki is a close relation to cod and is abundant in New Zealand waters. Sources tell me that I can hit MickyD's and order a Filet-O-Fish! Extra tarter sauce Pleeeeze!

About Omega 3- by Dr. Omega (no kidding!)
It's Good For You -- Body and Soul

From healthy hearts to healthy minds, Omega 3 has been helping people improve their quality of life. The problem is that getting Omega 3 from diet alone isn't the easiest thing to do -- nor is it the safest.

Omega 3 Sources #2 -- Fish (Dr. Omega lists the #1 source is through Omega 3 fish oil supplements and the #3 would be flax seed oil).

Fish is another great source of Omega 3 fatty acids. However, you need to be careful what fish you eat and how much of it you eat.

Fish like salmon, tuna and mackerel are all rich in Omega 3 fatty acids, but they may also be high in contaminants like mercury and dioxin. However, fish like Hoki are high in Omega 3 with little risk of toxins.

When looking at consuming fish for your Omega 3 sources, just be sure that you don’t ingest too many toxins along with your meals.

  1. Hey blogger girl, thanks for your hoki blog. I dont know about MickyDs fish sandwich, but Schwans delivers a box of Blue Hake, a common name for Hoki, right to my door every other week. Just thought you might like to know... Its frozen of course, but breaded and very convenient.

    thanks again for your info on Omega 3 and that hoki has little risks of toxins!!!
