Doctors and experts, therefore, maintain that fish is consumed more, and not sought only during the Easter period.

Studies indicate that the inclusion of fish in the diet helps prevent cardiovascular diseases, since it is associated with polyunsaturated fatty acids of the EPA and DHA type, as explained by the president of the Brazilian Association of Nutrilogy (Abran), Durval Ribas Filho, in Estadão.
