Fish meat itself is an alkaline food. During the digestion process of the human body, the fish meat will mix with the acid in the gastric juice after entering the stomach, causing the overall gastric contents to become acidic.
However, hard tissues such as fish scales and bones contain more minerals such as calcium phosphate. These substances will produce acidic waste after metabolism in the human body. Therefore, the overall pH of fish is not absolutely alkaline or acidic. It is a complex physiological acid-base balance state.
Generally speaking, with a moderate diet, fish is beneficial to the human body in maintaining acid-base balance and has many nutritional values, such as being rich in high-quality protein, unsaturated fatty acids, and multiple vitamins and minerals.
