Make a resolution for better health with healthy seafood choices from The Fresh Market. It’s no secret that adding fish to your diet can reward you with numerous healthy benefits. The American Heart Association recommends eating at least two servings of fish per week to help prevent coronary heart disease, and the FDA recognizes fish as a necessary part of a balanced diet.
 Choose Fish High in Omega-3 Fatty Acids
Recent studies show that omega-3 fatty acids help lower your risk of heart disease, reduce hypertension, relieve some arthritis symptoms and help prevent cancer. Fish such as salmon, tuna, rainbow trout, mackerel and herring all contain high levels of this healthy omega-3 fatty acid. Alaskan Salmon in particular contain even higher amounts of omega-3 as a result of the energy store they need to make their up-river journeys each summer.
Choose Lean Cooking Options
Broil, grill, roast, poach or boil your fish instead of frying. Limit or skip entirely the amount of breading and high-calorie sauces on your fish. Instead, choose lower-fat and low-sodium flavorings such as lemon juice, fresh fruit salsas and chutneys, or low-salt dry rubs.
