Some commonly harvested and eaten fish species include:
· Salmon
· Cod
· Anchovy
· Carp
· Tuna
· Trout
· Mackerel
· Snapper
· Dogfish
· Tilapia

Preparation for consumption
Fish can be prepared in a variety of ways, including not cooking (raw) (cf. sashimi), marinating (cf. escabeche), baking, frying, grilling, and poaching in court-bouillon.
Nutrition and health
Fish, especially saltwater fish, is high in Omega 3 fatty acids, which are heart-friendly, and a regular diet of fish is highly recommended. This is supposed to be one of the major causes of reduced risk for cardiovascular diseases in Eskimos. It has been suggested that the longer lifespan of Japanese and Nordic populations may be partially due to their higher consumption of fish and seafood. The Mediterranean diet is likewise based on a rich intake of fish.
Fish as meat
Though fish is the flesh of an animal, it is often not considered to be meat for the purposes of food taboos.
Various Christian fasts involve abstaining from meat. In Catholicism before Vatican II, meat was forbidden during Lent and on Fridays, but fish was permitted. In Eastern Orthodoxy, fish is permitted on some fast days when meat is forbidden, but stricter fast days exclude fish as well, though permitting invertebrate animals such as shrimp and oysters, which are considered "fish without blood".
Muslim halaal practice and Jewish kosher practice treat fish differently from other forms of animal flesh.
Some Buddhists and Hindus (Brahmins of West Bengal state in India) abjure meat, but not fish. Many vegetarians in Western countries, including all vegans, regard fish as a form of "meat," and do not consume it.
