3 simple reasons

These small fish are great additions to add to your diet.

Reason #1: They’re really good for you. The oil-rich fish are full of protein, B vitamins, omega-3 fatty acids, and a compound said to boost brainpower.

Reason #2: There are lots of them—no need to feel guilty. Eating these plentiful, fast-growing fish spares scarcer, slower-to-mature ones.

Reason #3: They taste great. The key is to get them ultra-fresh and pair them with strong flavors so they aren’t fishy—just rich.
