Seafood is a healthy choice. The health benefits of seafood are numerous. When regularly incorporated into your diet, seafood is incredibly heart-healthy, reducing the risk of heart disease, heart attack, stroke and heart failure. It can also reduce the risk of anemia and certain cancers, including liver cancer. Scientific research even indicates that seafood may lessen cognitive decline and depression.

This low calorie, low fat menu option provides us with many essential nutrients, such as protein and vitamins including B-12, B-6 and potassium and minerals such as iron and zinc. Many seafoods, such as salmon, are also high in the good fatty acids – those we refer to as omega-3. Omega-3 fatty acids have superpowers all their own. They aid in nerve cell function and can reduce inflammation.

Additionally, seafood is quick and easy to prepare and a proven crowd pleaser! Cooking it nutritiously is also delicious. Try steaming or broiling shellfish. Sautee your seafood or marinate and grill it. There are fish tacos, your favorite type of fish atop your favorite type of salad and – as you will find at Perrine’s Produce – there’s popular local fish dip and sweet, red Argentinian shrimp which are perfect for entertaining.

In fact, Perrine’s Produce offers a wide array of seafood options to please every palate, from crab legs, to lobster tails, scallops and filets of fish from tuna, to salmon and so much more!
