Valentine’s Dinner Tip: Fish For the Heart

September 18, 2024 By Cindy Silver

Frozen fish at supermarket
Fish is a heart-healthy and delicious choice for a special dinner!

Learning About Fish

There’s a lot about fish you may not know.  Jake learned that tilapia is a vegetarian fish that loves to eat algae. Jackie was interested in how wild salmon is caught in the waters off Alaska, flash frozen and transported to her home town. Their younger brother, Rocco, was most interested in watching the live lobsters in a tank at the other end of the seafood department. Who could blame him?

Fish Can Protect Your Heart

Fish is a powerful protein food that can add quality to everyone’s meals and snacks. Not only that – fish contributes omega-3 fat to your plate and, with it, comes a stronger heart. Certain fish are richer in omega-3 fat and it’s good to learn which these are. A few examples are salmon, mackerel, herring, lake trout, sardines and albacore tuna.

Cooking Fish from Frozen

Repeat after me…fish is not hard to cook. Really, it’s not. To cook fish directly from frozen, tap into a handy online resource at The Alaska Seafood Marketing Association. You can learn quickly from these cook fish from frozen videos and begin enjoying more fish right away. Whatever your choice — grilling, sautéing, baking, broiling, roasting or steaming, fish is something for those who are smart about nutrition and appreciate delicious flavors!

    Nice post. I recently did a cooking class with one of my clients and his family. They never eat fish and were really confused about to prepare it. The kids loved it and were really helpful in the preparation. Good work!
