Improve your health for 2014 - eat more fresh seafood!

Have you included better eating choices to improve your health in your New Year’s Resolutions? 2014 might be the perfect time to start including more fresh seafood into your diet. Did you know that both shellfish and fish are excellent, low fat sources of protein? A 3-oz serving usually offers you around 20 grams of protein, which is a third of the average daily recommended amount. Protein from seafood is generally lower in fat and calories than beef, pork and poultry and is easily digestible. In addition to being a high quality protein, each variety is chock full of vitamins and beneficial Omega -3 fats! You can try marinating and grilling fish "steaks" for a change of pace. Grilling fish kabobs is easy with firm-fleshed fish. The internet is full of lots of recipes for preparing seafood: which makes it easy to bring some new life into your menus and diet.
