Remarks on Poached Fish Fillet:
Fish contain all 9 amino acids, which means that fish is one of the few sources of complete protein. Since our bodies do not make amino acids, we must get them from the foods we eat.
Fish is also an amazing source of Omega 3 fatty acids, which is essential for the development of babies and helps babies who have eczema or other skin ailments.
