    Since before I’m born, and I’m in my mid 30s. My mother always said eating fish, especially those with bones, are good for the brain because near the bones you find phosphorus in higher concentrations, which is good for your neurons and memory.

    All that omega stuff is much newer though, but for me fish has always been “brain food”

      Which fish are those? The only one that I know of where you can eat the bones is sardines.

        That is one yes. But also the tissue attaching the flesh to the bones. This means any fish, you don’t need to eat the bones themselves but you get more bang for your buck if you cook it with the bones.

        All this might be ol wives tales of course, but as far as reputation for brain food goes, that’s it
