oily fish
Fatty marine catch
Oily fish are species with fat distributed throughout their flesh rather than concentrated in the liver.
Salmon, mackerel, sardines, herring, and anchovies are typical examples.
The term appears frequently in nutrition discussions because oily fish are rich in omega-3 fatty acids: Doctors recommend eating oily fish twice a week.
