The Finest Rockfish Recipes
What is Rockfish ?
Rockfish is packed with protein; a 5-ounce serving has almost 33 grams. As with most fish, it is full of omega-3 fatty acids that help reduce the risk of heart disease.
It’s a good source of vitamin D and potassium as well and can help prevent high blood pressure.
