"Herring contains a lot of fat, but it is healthy fatty acids, mainly omega-3. With a daily requirement of 1 to 1.5 g per day, 100 g of herring contains 2.4 g. Omega-3 fatty acids are necessary for a good diet because they are not produced in the body, and they are important for health," said nutritionist Svitlana Fus.
