We need iron to help our bodies function properly: iron helps our red blood cells to transport oxygen to our cells and tissues. Eating fish rich in iron can help you to avoid common nutrient deficiencies.

As a general rule, fish such as shellfish contain quantities of iron, even though, compared with red meat is much lower, the truth is that some can have up to 10% of the recommended daily amount. For example, oysters, prawns and mussels stand out amongst shellfish. Amongst fish, oily fish such as salmon and tuna stand out as having the most iron.
