5. HALIBUT
“Halibut is a firm, white fish with a rather mild flavor,” says Derocha, and so one that’s kid friendly (try it grilled or using it for fish sticks). It’s a good source of selenium, phosphorus, magnesium, and vitamins B6 and B12. It does have more mercury than other options, though, which is why the FDA lists it as only a “good,” once-a-week choice, rather than a “best” two-to-three times option.
6. MAHI-MAHI
“Because it’s also called ‘dolphin fish,’ it’s sometimes confused with the mammal dolphin, but don’t worry, they’re completely different,” says Derocha. A tropical firm fish (mahi-mahi means “strong” in Hawaiian,) it can hold up to almost any preparation without falling apart, says Derocha. It’s also a good once-a-week choice.
