Seafood and fish in general are low-calorie and nutritious meals that have their own fans, in comparison to other high-calorie foods such as red meat. Seafood contain very useful proteins and amino acids, which make them sources of complete proteins. In general, the lighter the fish is, the lower the total and saturated fat are and the healthier fish is. Marinating food with honey is better and less harmful than marinating food with sugar or sugar substitute. Therefore, it is recommended to use high-quality honey, as a flavoring food additive.
