To continue our journey through the secrets of fish and seafood, I continue my article by mentioning the proper way of consuming fish and seafood in order to attain a healthy nutritious meal!

How to associate fish and seafood… the right way! :

– Due to the low calorie content, you must associate fish with rice, potatoes or vegetables of any kind to make it a complete nutritious meal

– lemon juice contributes to a better protein digestion and increases iron absorption

– if you’re consuming ‘fish from a can’, use only the ones with own juice, not oil added. It’ s a lot healthier!

– try not to stir fry the fish

-cook it in the oven, sauté, in aluminum foil or grilled

– cook the seafood with tomato juice, wine boiled and well seasoned. Don’t add a heavy graving or mayo

– smoked or dried fish contains a lot less calories that the normal one.

– fresh fish must have: sparkling eyes and firm meat

Also remember that :  – there are two types of fish: Low fat and fatty(salmon, tuna, sardines)

– there are two types of seafood: Mollusks (oysters, clams, octopus )and Crustaceans (shrimps, crabs, lobsters)
