With the number one New Years Resolution for 2011 being Getting Healthy/Fit, we play a major role in helping you achieve this. Any healthy diet should include fish, specifically the types of fish that contain Omega-3 fatty acids, considered good fats.
Healthy FishSome varieties of seafood, such as mackerel, lake trout, herring, sardines, albacore tuna and salmon, are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, and most seafood is high in selenium and low in saturated fat, making it a heart-healthy protein choice. We've opted for sustainable choices of fish and seafood in our recipes, and there are plenty of options! If you’re not a fish-lover but want to start incorporating it into your menu, start with milder varieties like haddock, halibut and mahi-mahi and balance the taste with a robust sauce or acidic elements like lemon juice. If there is a stronger-flavored variety that you are hesitant to try, soak the fish in milk to neutralize some “ocean” flavors. If you are already a seafood lover, experiment with different types of seafood in your favorite recipes.
