In this video, we’re going to talk about salmon vs. cod and which is healthier. One thing to make a note of is that if you choose salmon or cod, make sure it’s wild-caught instead of farm-raised. It’s been thought that you should consume more cod because consuming fatty fish will clog your arteries. But, I don’t believe that’s true at all. 

Salmon (3 oz): 
Protein — 25.4g 
Saturated fat — 1.2g 
Vitamins —
• B3 — 45%
• B12 — 45% 
• B6 — 45%
• B2 — 25% 
• B1 — 15% 
• Folate — 6%

Cod (3 oz):
Protein — 22.8g 
Saturated fat — trace amounts 
Vitamins —
• B3 — 10%
• B12 — 15% 
• B6 — 10% 
• B2 — 4%
• B1 — 6%
• Folate — 2%

Both of these types of fish have a small amount of mercury. But you shouldn’t need to be concerned, because they also have a good amount of selenium. Selenium is used by the body to counter the toxic effect of mercury. 

Here is the biggest difference when it comes to salmon vs. cod:

• Salmon has 2,208mg of omega 3 fatty acids. 
• Cod has 171mg of omega 3 fatty acids. 

In my opinion, salmon is a healthier choice. I also think that when you consume fish, it may be best to leave the skin on it. There’s a lot of benefits from the skin and the fat that’s just underneath the skin.
