Benefits of fish and seafood

In addition to being a great source of omega-3 fatty acids and Vitamin D and B2, fish and seafood are also great sources of calcium, phosphorus and minerals including iron and zinc.

Moreover, seafood is also high in protein and of course, low in saturated fats. Fish and seafood may also reduce the risk of autoimmune disease. They're also easy and quick to prepare and there are so many ways you can enjoy them.

How often should I have seafood?

It's advised to eat up to 12 ounces of fish or seafood every week which is equal to two meals. However, pregnant women and people with special medical conditions must consult their doctor prior to consuming seafood.

What seafood to have on hand

We usually try to keep a couple types of fish such as salmon, cod or tilapia on hand. It's also a great idea to have frozen shrimp in the freezer since it's very tasty and easy to prepare. You can also get crab or lobster for special occasions and enjoy them with your loved ones.

Fresh or frozen?

If you're living in a coastal town and you have a local fish monger who brings fresh fish to the market everyday, then that's the ideal situation to buy fresh fish and seafood. However, If you're living anywhere else and don't have access to fresh fish, frozen would do just fine.
