    Is frozen fish as bought in supermarkets, good to reduce, or at least not increase, LDL cholesterol

    Eat lots of fish. Nutritionally, there's virtually no difference between fresh and frozen.

    All the evidence is that fish, including (or especially) oily fish, will improve your cholesterol profile.

    thanks did no know that. But what about the batter, would that have fat.?

    And omega 3 fish fingers?

    Is batter a trans fat?

    Batter is not so good, and often does involve transfats. But frozen salmon or cod or prawns are all excellent choice.

    Thanks. Do you know what level of saturated fat is acceptable, the all have some.
    this has 1.6g

    If trans is not mentioned does it mean no transfats in product?

    Saturated fat for a male is 15grams for a day. Would presume less for a female. Transfats can come under a few different names, keep an eye out for anything hydrogenated

    That is a lot of stuff already posted on these boards about saturated fat is not the issue, and a mere 1.6g of it is not an issue.

    You sometimes need to be careful about transfats. Just because they are not mentioned does not mean they are not there. Add up the saturated fat, the mono- and the poly fats, and if they don't equal the total fat, then the difference is transfats.

    I wondered why they sometimes did not add up.

    why not buy some fish and batter it yourself ?
    It's not difficult it should be sourced locally and you'll know what's in it.
    Anything that's been tampered with that much can't be good for you.
    btw - Donegal catch has 0 to do with the county Donegal as far as I know it's almost entirely caught in South America.
