The World Health Organization (WHO) and the American Heart Association recommend eating fish at least twice a week, because the benefits amply outweigh the risks.
Despite Chile's rich and varied offering of seafood along its more than 4,000 km of coastline, domestic fish consumption is very low.
As few as 9.2% of Chileans eat fish at least twice a week (most recent National Health Survey).
Annual per capita consumption in Chile is 13.2 kg vs. 19.7 kg in the world (United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation).
The Undersecretary for Fisheries and Aquaculture, with support from Fundación Chile, have launched a program to increase yearly fish and shellfish consumption in the country from the current 13 kg to 20 kg per capita by 2027.
Fisheries emit a minimal fraction of the carbon per kilogram generated by producers of red meats.
Aquaculture provides 46% of the total supply of fish for human consumption.
Amino acids accumulated by salt water fish to balance the ocean’s salinity make them more flavorful than freshwater fish.
JACK MACKEREL
The fish’s protein has high biological value (equal to that of meat). Its amino acids are found in quantities that are more appropriate for our organism than plant-based proteins.
Canned fish eaten with bones (e.g. jack mackerel and sardines) provide important amounts of calcium.
Canned products retain the nutritional properties of foods without the need for preservatives.
Camanchaca’s jack mackerel is certified by the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) a leading global program that sets standards for sustainable fishing and product traceability.
The Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) manages an ambitious program through which it seeks to shift international markets for seafood products towards a model that rewards and promotes sustainable and responsible practices.
Good source of protein with high biological value. This low-calorie, low-fat food provides 146 kcal and 5 grams of good fat for every 100 grams of meat.
Rich in polyunsaturated Omega 3 essential fatty acids (DHA and EPA). Classified as blue fish, its omega 3 fatty acids help reduce bad cholesterol levels (LDL) and protect the cardiovascular system. Consuming this fish at least twice a week serves to decrease cortisol—known as the “stress hormone”—and curb anxiety.
Contains Vitamins A, D and B-Group (B3 and B12). These vitamins aid in improving cognitive ability in children and the elderly and benefit skin and muscle tissue, the immune system, the formation of bone structure and metabolic functions throughout the human body.
Good source of minerals such as iodine, which is essential for thyroid (hormone) function, as well as magnesium, phosphorus, selenium, sodium, iron and calcium, which supports proper functioning of nerves, muscles, bones and the digestive system.
SALMON
Salmon's orange color is due to a pigment called astaxanthin (similar to beta-carotene in carrots), which it obtains from small crustaceans found on seaweed.
In the wild, salmon migrate for several years to and from the sea or lake, reproducing in the exact spot where they were born. They find their way using an impressive natural GPS, their sense of smell and the position of the sun.
Salmon protein is not very fibrous due to its low collagen content and it is digested in 45 minutes, in contrast to skinless chicken, which takes an hour and a half..
Good source of protein with high biological value. Provides 180 kcal and 11 grams of good fat for every 100 grams of meat.
Rich in polyunsaturated Omega 3 essential fatty acids (DHA and EPA). Classified as blue fish, its omega 3 fatty acids help reduce bad cholesterol levels (LDL) and protect the cardiovascular system. Consuming this fish at least twice a week serves to decrease cortisol—known as the “stress hormone”—and curb anxiety.
Contains Vitamins A, D and B-Group (B3, B12). These vitamins benefit cognitive ability, skin and muscle tissue, the immune system, the formation of bone structure and metabolic functions throughout the human body.
Good source of minerals such as iodine, which is essential for thyroid (hormone) function, as well as magnesium, phosphorus, selenium, sodium, iron and calcium, which supports proper functioning of nerves, muscles, bones and the digestive system.
MUSSELS
Male and female mussels can be distinguished by their color. Males are whitish in color and females orange.
The Romans were the first to farm and consume mussels.
Each female can deposit up to 10,000,000 eggs and the incubation period lasts up to two weeks depending on the temperature of the water.
As many as one thousand mussels can live in a square meter.
An adult mussel can filter up to 100 liters in a day.
The filaments and natural glue that mussels use to stick to surfaces can be used to manufacture surgical material and close surgical wounds, with improved recovery.
Mussels have beards formed by filaments (“byssal threads”) that enable them to cling to rocks, that have been used for weaving cloth similar to that of silk worms.
Good source of protein with high biological value. This low-calorie food contains around 86 kcal, 10 grams of protein and 2 grams of fat for every 100 grams of meat.
Rich in polyunsaturated Omega 3 essential fatty acids (DHA and EPA). Its contribution of omega 3 fatty acids helps reduce high levels of bad cholesterol (LDL) and protect the cardiovascular system, as well as control anxiety and depression.
Contains Vitamins A and C, which play a major role in vision, skin, mucus membranes and the immune system. Its high vitamin C content benefits bone health and the healing of wounds.
Contains Vitamin B12. This vitamin aids in improving cognitive ability in children and the elderly, boosting the immune system and central nervous system and plays a major role in the formation of bone structure and metabolic functions in the human body.
ABALONE
Abalones or sea-ears are native to Asia (China, Japan and Korea). They grow on rocks along highly sensitive marine coastal areas with warm temperatures and take 3 years to be commercially viable.
Their coloring comes from feeding on seaweed, which it drains through openings on its shell.
Consuming abalone helps humans digest and assimilate proteins, and it also strengthens our body, heart and immune system.
It produces beta-glucuronidase, an enzyme used in rapid drug tests.
Good source of protein with high biological value. It provides around 105 kcal, 17.10 grams of protein and 2 grams of fat for every 100 grams of meat.
Rich in polyunsaturated Omega 3 essential fatty acids (DHA and EPA). Its contribution of omega 3 fatty acids helps reduce high levels of bad cholesterol (LDL) and protect the cardiovascular and circulatory systems, as well as control anxiety and depression. Some studies show that it can lower the risk of developing certain types of cancers.
Contains Vitamins B-Group (B1, B2, B3, B6) and D. These vitamins help people with diabetes, depression and asthma, while improving the immune system, the formation of bone structure and metabolic functions in the human body.
Good source of minerals. It contains important amounts of phosphorous, calcium, iodine and sodium, which supports the transmission of nerve impulses and bolsters the cardiovascular and circulatory system.
LANGOSTINO LOBSTERS
Langostino lobsters are from the same family as the shrimp, but with a firmer shell or carapace, thicker legs and two small pincers.
More delicate in flavor, they are light brown in color and may have coppery or reddish notes. The lower the water temperature, the greater their size.
The species can be found in Chile between the Atacama and the Biobío regions, as well as in northern Peru. In Chile they live at depths of between 50 and 350 meters.
Good source of protein with high biological value. This low-calorie food contains around 109 kcal, 24 grams of protein and 0.8 grams of fat for every 100 grams of meat.
Contains Vitamins E and B-Group (B3, B9, B12). Consuming these crustacean aids in the production of sex hormones in our organism. It also helps prevent birth defects during pregnancy and lowers the risk of developing cancer since it is effective in reducing free radicals and has a high antioxidant content.
Good source of minerals. It contains important amounts of phosphorous, magnesium, selenium, iron and sodium, which supports the transmission of nerve impulses and bolsters the cardiovascular and circulatory system. Moderate intake is recommended for people with high blood pressure.
Rich in Omega 3. Aids in preventing cardiovascular diseases and reducing cholesterol levels.
