Oily Fish
Oily fish include salmon, trout,
mackerel, sardines, pilchards, herring, kipper, eel and whitebait. These fish
count as oily fish when they're canned, fresh or frozen.
Fresh tuna is an oily fish but canned tuna doesn't count as oily. This is because when it's canned these fats are reduced to levels similar to white fish. So, canned tuna is a healthy choice for most people, but it doesn't have the same benefits as eating oily fish.

There is good evidence that eating oily
fish reduces the risk of death from heart disease, as they're a good source of
omega 3 polyunsaturated fatty acids. White fish also contain these fatty acids,
but at much lower levels than in oily fish.
Omega 3 fatty acids are important for the development of the central nervous system in babies, before and after they are born. There is some evidence suggesting that if women eat oily fish when they are pregnant and when breastfeeding this helps their baby's development.
