JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (Nov. 29, 2010) – Sea Best, a brand of frozen seafood from Beaver Street Fisheries, is offering Americans practical ideas for eating healthy all year long. The brand is providing their customers with chef-developed recipes featuring Sea Best products.
Many Sea Best products come with recipes on their packages, and dozens of other recipes can be found on the company’s website, seabest.com. According to Sea Best Executive Vice President Mark Frisch, these easy-to-make and unique recipes are one way to make sure health-conscious consumers keep their healthier eating habits well after the New Year.
“American consumers are familiar with the fact that seafood is a healthier alternative to other proteins,” said Frisch. “However, most may not know a lot of seafood recipes, or they get burned out on the recipes they do know. We’re giving people all over the country some easy, tasty seafood recipes, so they’ll be more likely to eat healthier year-round.”
Fish is an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins and minerals that provide health benefits. The American Heart Association recommends at least two servings of fish per week to help prevent heart disease, lower blood pressure, and reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes.
The health benefits of increasing seafood consumption are in line with First Lady Michelle Obama’s challenge to parents and caregivers to make healthy food choices for their children.
Sea Best’s frozen seafood can be easily incorporated into a family’s weekly meal plan using dozens of new recipes developed by culinary professionals specifically for Sea Best. Dishes such as Fruits de Mer Salad, Shrimp Mac & Cheese and Almond-Crusted Tilapia offer a range of tastes and textures for children and adults.
