Fish soup the way we like it!
Many people like fish soup, many people like to prepare it from different kinds of fish. It is inevitable that fish bones, which often make eating soup unpleasant. With the simple method of the following recipe, we will show you how to prepare a thick, rich fish soup without fishbones.
Fish has always played a prominent role among animal-derived foods. Not by chance, because even the earliest groups of people could only permanently settle near a body of water – a stream, lake, or river – and these were almost always teeming with fish. And, while their catch required hard work, it was still a safer occupation than hunting large land animals in most cases.
Fish consumption and its physiological effects
A high-protein source
Despite the fact that fish meat contains 65-85% water, it is one of the best sources of protein. A significant portion of the remaining portion – 16-30% of the total weight of the fish meat – is made up of different proteins. Fish is a complete protein source because its proteins contain all of the essential amino acids. Its consumption contributes to the maintenance of fat-free body mass, i.e., it helps to prevent muscle mass loss during weight loss when combined with appropriate exercise. It can be prepared quickly and is easily digestible for most people due to its loose structure and high water content.
Omega-3 essential fatty acids
They have been linked to improved heart, brain, and vascular health, reduced systemic inflammation, and even the prevention of some neurodegenerative diseases. They are especially important during fetal development for the development of the brain and retina.
Fish as a calcium source
One of the most significant barriers to the spread of fish consumption is that most people today despise fish bones. There are, however, several solutions to this problem. On the one hand, we can choose fish like catfish that are completely free of small fibers. We don’t have to give up the other, stringier fish as well. From the fillet easily remove the bones with fish tweezers. Alternatively, puree the cooked fish, as we do in our fish soup recipe.
Vitamins found in fish
Fish is a good source of vitamin A, which protects the skin and mucous membranes, and vitamin D, which is required for bone formation and immune system function, but it is also high in vitamins B1, B2, which are involved in various metabolic processes, and B12, which is necessary for blood formation. The vitamin and mineral content of fish varies greatly depending on the fish species and habitat.
