"Crab aficionados know that fall is the best time for crabs but did you know that there is a scientific explanation for this? Like most animals going into the colder seasons, seafood will fatten up in the fall. The good news is that seafood fat oils are where you’ll find important nutrients and omega 3 fatty acids."
October is National Seafood Month, and a fitting time to celebrate that the United States is recognized as a global leader in sustainable seafood—both wild-caught and farmed. U.S. fishermen and fish farmers operate under some of the most robust and transparent environmental standards in the world.
It's time to bring the family together for consistent meals at home around the dinner table --- make seafood the hero on the plate! Here's Why:
- Quick and easy weeknight meals: Many seafood dishes can be cooked in 15 minutes or less, the Partner Toolkit said, as it provides suggested cooking methods and times for several different types of seafood.
- Big Health Benefits: The benefits of seafood are big! Fish and shellfish supply the nutrients, vitamins and omega-3s essential for strong bones, brain development, and healthy heart and immune system.
- Even More Health Benefits: The fats found naturally in seafood, omega-3s EPA and DHA, are essential to our health---fish has more vitamin B12 and vitamin D than any other type of food, according to the FDA.
- The Seafoodie Family: focus on sitting down together as a family to connect. Renew your commitment to creating and serving meals at home that nourish your family's bodies, brains, and help them flourish for life.
