The milkfish (Chanos chanos) is the sole living species in the family Chanidae. However, there are at least five extinct genera from the Cretaceous. The milkfish can grow to 1.80 m but are most often no more than 1 m in length. They can reach a weight of about 14 kg and an age of 15 years. They have an elongated and almost compressed body, with a generally symmetrical and streamlined appearance, one dorsal fin, falcate pectoral fins and a sizable forked caudal fin. Mouth is small and toothless. Body color is olive green, with silvery flanks and dark bordered fins. Milkfishes are packed with many vitamins, minerals, and nutrients. A few of the most abundant are vitamin D, calcium, and phosphorus. Milkfish are filled with calcium, which is vital to aiding in the healing process for broken bones, as well as helping to prevent bone mineral loss. The phosphorus found in milkfish helps to build and maintain bone mineralization. Omega-3 fatty acids are linked to preventing tumours, as well as many types of cancers, colorectal cancer cells, and even malignant brain tumours, reduce swelling and inflammation, better cognitive function, a healthier heart, gum disease prevention, powerhouse for fighting age-related cognitive disorders and diseases, preventing loss of eyesight with age.  Potassium present in milkfish can ease anxiety, depression, and some related symptoms. It helps maintaining good heart and kidney health. Astaxanthin works to reduce heart disease by reducing the oxidation of ‘bad’ cholesterol (LDL) and increasing the ‘good’ cholesterol (HDL). Selenium is responsible for decreasing antibodies in the thyroid for people who have autoimmune thyroid disease and aiding in bone health. This variety is from the Seas adjacent to our homeland.
