So, is canned fish good for you? Yes, absolutely yes—as long as you’re smart about it. Go for the small guys like sardines, mackerel, or wild-caught salmon. Watch your portions, especially with tuna, and don’t be shy about the oil pack. Your brain, heart, and wallet will all be happier.
And if you’re still afraid of the can? Start with a simple tin of salmon. Flake it into a bowl with some mayo, pepper, and chopped celery. It’s basically a gateway drug to the world of tinned treasures. Just don’t eat it on a first date unless you’re both into that kind of thing. I’m not judging—I’ve done it. I regret nothing.
