Something Fishy

In last week’s newsletter, we discussed the health benefits of fish as well as how to select fresh seafood. A few of the health benefits include reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease, anti-inflammatory properties and lessened of joint pain. When trying to select fresh seafood, use this chart, Fish Selection Guide. It discusses selecting fish based on texture and flavor. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has also published information breaking down fish into categories such as shrimp, shellfish and frozen seafood. Each section discusses the safe way to store, prepare and serve your favorite seafood dish. Click here for a link to the FDA’s link Fresh and Frozen Seafood: Selecting and Serving it Safely.
