White fish broth is a tasty, light, and healthy meal in itself. You can make this delicious bowl of healthy white fish soup in minutes from frozen fish and spices that can please your taste buds.
White fish filet is one of the easiest fish to source all around the world, and you can find priced and stocked reasonably in grocery stores.
Cod, haddock, flounder, and tilapia are a few of these common white fish choices available around the world. Even though wild fishes like salmon are healthiest (touted for Omega-3), it’s often more pricey and sometimes hard to find.
You can almost always catch a white fish healthy deal and meal to feed a table tonight that’s loaded with protein, vitamins, and minerals even if you don’t live by the coast.
Considering other dinner and meal alternatives, it’s good healthy value.
In choosing white fish, you may not notice fish taste differences in fish coming from packaged frozen fish sections that are usually mild tasting, compared to the fresh seafood counters that have a fresh and more distinct-to-type fishy taste.
Wherever you go, the most important healthy choice is choosing the “wild” factor.
Wild fish is the healthy choice over farm-raised fish.
Emphasizing wild fish, then you can use the organic skin for flavorful fish broth.
Fish broth has type 1 collagen, that’s especially good for skin and hair. And, who doesn’t want that?
When I was younger, I was told to avoid the fish skin, but that’s because we ate wild card fish sources that weren’t wild fish. 🎣
But like most white fishes, the white flesh is still a good source of protein, Vitamin D, and Omega-3 healthy fats.
White fish is also a good lighter choice if you’re trying to lose weight.
And if you’re looking to make quick, easy meals… you can pull frozen fish out from the freezer and have a meal like white fish broth soup in minutes.
A zestful soup with so much flavor with tastefully paired spices and spice blends like tarragon, coriander, and my seafood favorite…
I grew up with memories driving to the Maryland beaches, where Old Bay spice is a nostalgic and distinct taste favorite… and for many others who experienced the layer of strong Old Bay celery salt, paprika, and cloves scent in the already salty ocean air. 🌊
A whiff of the spice reminds me of the middle and end of August before Labor Day when the season changes. That’s also back-to-school time. And it was for me too as an 80s teen growing up in the more simple, and happy-go-lucky years.
Carrying the carefree spirit into back-to-school college years, I returned for summers and even worked at Phillip’s Seafood in Ocean City, MD one summer.
Those were the innocent (as in I didn’t know what I didn’t know) days with an unexpected whole new world ahead. We didn’t spend time on smart phones or the internet that didn’t exist.
…We focused on the physical 3-D life in front and around us and played physical arcade games and enjoying all-you-can-eat crabs as entertainment. 😊
And this 3-D person came home from work smelling like a seafood boil festival.
On the shore, they douse Old Bay on everything… and all seafood. 🍤 Like shrimp, scallops and corn…
Old Bay is also great in fishy broths like the white fish broth (recipe below).
Just adding the seafood magical blend, you’d think you were having a soup from a Maryland seafood restaurant.
And because I planned DC parties in Mediterranean and Spanish cuisine restaurants, I especially like the fishy spice combination with the Spanish spice saffron.
It’s often found in a Paella dish that is not a quick meal, but you can make a saffron white omelet in minutes.
As another idea, you can serve that up with your white fish broth soup.
