Is it True That Fish without Scales Contains Higher Cholesterol? - Dietitian Mate

Updated: Aug 15

Is it true that you should eat less fish without scales because it has high cholesterol?


Answer: There is no such statement, because all fishes can provide good fat to us.

According to guidelines, it is recommended to consume fish at least 2-3 times a week to promote cardiovascular health.


Instead of worrying about whether the fish you eat is high in cholesterol, why not check whether

  • your usual meals are high in fat and sugar , or

  • the way of fish preparation can easily cause high cholesterol


In addition:

Fish without scales is often considered dirty and is not recommended to be eaten. But whether it is dirty or not has nothing to do with the scales, but whether the fish has been cleaned and whether it is fresh or not are more important.
