What white fish is · the lean meat of the sea

Stop 1/8

白鱼是什么 · 鱼里的瘦肉

White fish is not one species but a class: low-fat white-fleshed fish — cod, seabass, hairtail (half-fat), flounder, tilapia, snapper and others. In Chinese cooking, most 'steamed fish' stars are white fish.

White fish and fatty fish (salmon, tuna, sardines, eel) sit at opposite ends of the fish spectrum: white fish store almost all their fat in the liver, leaving the muscle nearly fat-free; fatty fish store fat in the muscle, making it darker and richer.

That difference dictates completely different nutritional roles — white fish is the high-protein, low-calorie, low-fat 'lean fish'; fatty fish is the omega-3 source. This story's core honest question: white fish carries an order of magnitude less omega-3 than fatty fish (cod ~0.18 g EPA+DHA per 100 g against salmon's ~2.0 g), so hitting an EPA/DHA target through fish means fatty fish — which does not reduce white fish's value as a protein source.

Cod is the main data representative here; hairtail is fattier than typical white fish — do not use it as the lean template.
