We do not eat enough seafood and there are great options for vegetarians too!
Why eat seafood or sea plants?
DHA ... the most significant essential fatty acid for the brain, the heart and the body. Yes you can supplement but the best source is from the ocean.
How I save money and easily add seafood to our weekly meals 2-3x:
1. I buy whole fish and ask the person behind the counter to descale and de-fin the fish for me. One trout feeds the whole family and is on average $7.99/lb versus $14.99/lb. Huge cost savings. I then cook the fish whole in tin foil with butter, lemon and dill.
2. I buy shrimp every time it's on sale, even if I don't plan on using it. Often I can buy a bag with 30-40 pieces for $6.99. This becomes a quick go to stir fry or curry when I need it.
3. Seaweed is packed with DHA and can be used in stews, stir frys, sushi rolls, and even seaweed chips
