Happy Independence Day – Gone Fishing

Happy Independence Day – Gone Fishing

 

We sincerely hope that by now you have gotten the message that we all need to eat more cold water fish. Just to remind you, the batter soaked, deep fried fish sticks and patties are not fitting into the category. (also the bacon enriched fish chowders do not count either!).
Fish can be easy and quick for those busy chefs. We go to great lengths to choose suppliers who are responsible and sustainable. Along with Omega 3’s, cold water wild caught fish is also loaded with important nutrients such as protein and vitamin D.
So what are the ways to get more of those Omega 3 super foods into your diet? Let’s make this fun while learning and take a little quiz to find out.
Question #1: Like lean meat, lean fish is the healthiest choice; true or false?
Question #2: Which one of the following fish is not a rich source of Omega 3 fats? Wild king salmon, farmed Atlantic salmon, wild sockeye salmon, wild herring, or wild mackerel?
Question #3: Which one of the following fish is not high in mercury? King mackerel, tilefish, shark, Atlantic mackerel, or swordfish?
Question #4: Even though fast-food fish is deep fried, it is still a healthy option because it contains health Omega 3 fats; true or false?
Question #5: Salmon and other varieties of fish that come from the state of Alaska are always wild. True or false?
Question #6: The American Heart Association recommends eating fish how often? On most days, at least 3 times per week, at least twice a week, or at least once a week?
Sorry, you will have to stay tune until next week for the answers (or come by the store or check our website which offers many other informational / learning resources).
We would like to hear your feedback on favorite fish recipes or especially some grilled fish favorites.
