Weekly Meal Plan: Delicious Seafood Recipes

by Cambria VandeMerwe on February 18th, 2013 | 1 Comment »

There’s something about bitter cold that makes me think about fish. Maybe it’s because of all the movies with fishermen fighting the waves in an icy rain. Maybe it’s because of Seattle’s Fish Market that for me always requires a jacket. Whatever it is, I think it's a great reason for fish on our plates.

Whether you live by the coast or miles from it, seafood is a delicious and healthy option for this week’s dinners. Fish is known to prevent major diseases as well as supply your body with nutrients such as Vitamin B-12, iron, and protein. Eating seafood will strengthen your heart, brain, nervous system, and even your hair and skin. Get ready for an extra dose of energy this week as we explore the art of seafood.
