Fatty fish has been linked to many health benefits, including a lower risk of heart disease, improved mental ability, and protection from cancer, dementia, and rheumatoid arthritis due to its high content of omega 3.

Fatty fish are also a good source of vitamin A which is needed for healthy skin, eyesight and good immunity.
