Following Delicious And Healthy Recipes Is Key
We recommend shellfish and fish as they are very healthy and a good source of protein.
Even if you hated seafood as a kid, you’ll love it after trying these 2 delicious and healthy shellfish and fish recipes for dinner.
Personally, I’m a big fan of most seafood, especially lobster, because it’s so delicious.
We always have lobster when I’m visiting my family on Christmas Eve.
I also love cooking this baked lemon pepper salmon recipe in bulk.
However, when it comes to salmon, I always look for wild salmon since farmed salmon can get a little nasty.
When you can, do your best to always look for wild fish.
I also love smoked salmon.
We have a delicious smoked salmon and asparagus wraps recipe in Team Live Lean.
Tuna is also delicious.
I love making this tuna salad recipe for a quick high protein snack.
Bottom Line
We pretty much love all fish and shellfish.
However, as mentioned, we do recommend if you’re going to eat fish, try to go with wild fish.
If you can’t find wild salmon in the regular fresh section of the grocery store, a lot of times you can find it in the frozen section.
When you do find fresh wild salmon at Whole Foods, it’s freaking expensive, but delicious.
Unfortunately, you have to pay up for the good stuff.
We Highly Recommend You Supplement With Omega 3 Fish Oil
If you don’t eat a lot of fatty fish, like wild salmon, I highly recommend you supplement with a high quality omega 3 fish oil or krill oil.
I love this delicious lemon flavored fish oil from Nordic Naturals.
If you prefer krill oil, I’ve also supplemented with this krill oil from Onnit.
Now it’s time to go check out this video post on the best foods high in omega 3 fatty acids.
