Read the article and beaware of it. My apologies though at it lacks references so it's your own task now to find further information about it. This article is a good way to begin with though.

Do Fish Cooking Methods Really Make a Difference? A Study Recommends This Way

Eating fish elevated in omega-3 fats continues to be related to a reduced risk of stroke. New information suggests it’s not just how much fish you consume that matters, but exactly how it’s prepared.

Dr. Fadi Nahab of Emory University led a team that studied the role of race and geography in stroke incidence, with a particular focus on the “Stroke Belt’’ inside southeastern Usa, where stroke death rates are higher than the remaining country.

For the study, more than 21,000 people answered a telephone survey about their fish consumption. African-Americans ate more fish a week than whites, however they were also 3 1/2 times very likely to eat at least two servings of fried fish weekly than whites.

Fried fish consumption was 30 % higher within the Stroke Belt compared to the remaining country.

Having fried fish may decrease health benefits in 2 ways, they said. First, lean fishes including cod or haddock are more likely to be fried than omega-3-rich salmon, herring, or mackerel.

Second, frying fish is considered to reduce natural omega-3s and replace all of them with cooking oils.

Finally, the analysis report that consuming more fried fish could possibly be associated with higher incidence of stroke.

CAUTIONS: The food surveys were a snapshot, so that they didn't take into account dietary changes with time that could be crucial in stroke risk. More studies are required to establish whether folks who eat fried fish are actually very likely to have strokes.

And also you? How would you cook fish? Here's my secret fish recipe: "Mediterranean Fish Fillets"

Makes 6 servings.
Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: Twenty or so minutes

Ingredients:
1 1/2 pounds firm white fish fillets, such halibut, striped bass or orange roughy

1/2 mug pitted Kalamata, green or black olives, cut in two lengthwise
2 tbsps white wine
1 teaspoon Basil Leaves
1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
1/4 teaspoon Thyme Leaves

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Coat baking dish without any stick cooking spray. Put fish in single layer in baking dish. Gently salt and pepper the fish. Bake 12 minutes. If fish is over 1-inch thick, increase cooking to 15 minutes.

2. In the mean time, heat oil in medium saucepan on medium heat. Add onion; cook and stir 5 minutes or until softened. Add tomatoes, olives, wine, basil, garlic and thyme. Simmer, uncovered, 3 minutes.
