Can eating fish really be considered sustainable and healthy?

How healthy, and sustainable, can eating fish be for both us and our planet? Written by Tim Spector.

Oily fish being good for your brain, fish being better for your heart, and even fish not feeling pain...there are lots of reasons that people choose fish over mammal meat. But as fish farms take over bodies of water and the natural migration patterns of fish are disappearing,  can a fish-based diet be considered sustainable, and is it actually better for us?
