Why our body loves omega-3 and why real fish is so valuable
When we think about healthy eating, we often talk about protein, vitamins, or calories.
Fat, on the other hand, did not have a good reputation for a long time.
For decades, we were taught to eat as little fat as possible. Today, however, science knows: Fat is not the problem. On the contrary. Our body needs fat to function optimally.
What matters is not the quantity, but the quality.
And this is exactly where omega-3 comes into play.
Our body consists of more fat than many think
Our brain is made up of about 60 percent fat, making it one of the fattiest organs in our body.
Our cell membranes, eyes, and numerous metabolic processes also rely on high-quality fatty acids.
Particularly important here are the omega-3 fatty acids EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid).
These fatty acids are considered essential. This means that our body cannot produce them at all, or only to a very limited extent. That is why we must consume them regularly through our diet.
Why omega-3 is so important
Omega-3 fatty acids perform numerous tasks in the body.
🧠 For brain and concentration
DHA is an important building block of brain structure. Studies show that omega-3 plays an important role in normal brain function.
Especially in a world full of information, stress, and constant availability, a balanced supply of omega-3 is more important than ever.
❤️ For heart and circulation
The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) confirms that EPA and DHA can contribute to normal heart function.
That is why fish and omega-3 have been among the most well-researched topics in nutritional science for years.
👁️ For the eyes
DHA is also an important component of the retina.
An adequate intake contributes to the maintenance of normal vision.
🔬 For billions of cells
Every single cell in our body has a cell membrane.
Omega-3 fatty acids are important components of these structures and contribute to our cells being able to function optimally.
The problem with our modern diet
Our grandparents ate significantly fewer highly processed foods than we do today.
Many modern products contain large amounts of refined vegetable oils and primarily provide omega-6 fatty acids.
At the same time, many people are eating less and less fish and other natural sources of omega-3.
This significantly shifts the ratio of omega-6 to omega-3.
Scientists have been discussing for years that this imbalance could be a hallmark of modern diets.
Why fish plays a special role
There are many foods that can be healthy.
However, fish is one of the few foods that combines several valuable properties.
🐟 High-quality protein
🧠 Valuable omega-3 fatty acids
💪 Essential amino acids
❤️ Vitamins and minerals
🔥 High nutrient density with comparatively few calories
That is why numerous nutritional societies worldwide recommend regular fish consumption as part of a balanced diet.
Why we rely on perch and zander at LocalFish
At LocalFish, we never wanted to develop just another convenience product.
We wanted to create a way to integrate high-quality nutrients into everyday life easily.
Because healthy eating rarely fails due to a lack of knowledge.
Most of the time, it fails due to a lack of time.
Our perch and zander "Knusperli" (crispy bites) therefore combine the best of both worlds:
🐟 Regionally produced Swiss fish
🧠 Natural omega-3 fatty acids
💪 High-quality protein
🌾 Gluten-free potato-based breading
⏱️ Ready in just 8 minutes in the air fryer
Real ingredients instead of complicated recipes
Another aspect concerns us in particular.
Many foods today contain long lists of ingredients, additives, and substances that hardly anyone understands.
We believe:
Anyone who buys food should be able to understand what is in it.
That is why we deliberately focus on transparency.
No unnecessary flavor enhancers.
No unnecessary additives.
No ingredients you have to look up on Google first.
But rather, high-quality raw materials and honest recipes.
Omega-3 made easy
Healthy eating doesn't have to be complicated.
Sometimes it starts with a simple decision.
More high-quality proteins.
More valuable fatty acids.
More real food.
Our perch and zander "Knusperli" make exactly that easy.
Regionally produced. Honestly made. Served crispy.
Because sometimes, perhaps the most important fat is on your plate.
