Assalam oalaikum
Fish has been mentioned in the Quran in the following verses:
Anything you catch in the sea is lawful for you and all food from it for your
enjoyment and for the travelers” (TMQ-5:96)
It is he who made the sea subservient to you so that you can eat fresh flesh from it
(TMQ-16:14)
“Bring us our morning meal. Truly this journey of ours has made us tired.” He
said, ‘Do you see what has happened? When we went to find shelter at the rock, I
forgot the fish”.(TQM-18:61-63)
In these Quranic verses fish has been given much importance as a food. In 18:61-
63 fish has been chosen by Prophet Musa (AS) as a food fit to be eaten on a long
journey which hints at its high nutritional value.
In the recent years modern scientific research has found the following health
benefits of fish:
Fish contains proteins of high biological value and also some minerals and
vitamins such as calcium, magnesium etc.
Fish can prevent inflammation.
Fish oil can reduce triglyceride levels in the bloodstream which reduces the
threat
of blockages in the heart valves.
