National Seafood Month, Contest Winner, Red Grouper

 

Happy Friday from the Catch Crew! Fresh, Never Frozen Shrimp If you missed out last weekend, we will have some fresh shrimp available this weekend while supplies last! National Seafood Month October is National Seafood Month! We touched on it a bit last week when mentioning our bundle special but here a few great reasons to add more seafood to your weekly diet: Fish provide essential nutrients. The specifics depend on what kind of fish you’re eating, but to tell you the truth, there isn’t a kind that’s “bad” for you. They are a great natural source of vitamins and minerals such as Vitamins A, B, and D. Seafood promotes heart health. It’s nutritious enough to be low in saturated fat and high in protein but even better news for your heart, fish are rich in omega-3 fatty acids. These can drastically reduce the risk of cardiovascular events like strokes, heart attacks, or sudden cardiac arrest. It’s great for your joints! Those omega-3 fatty acids are good for easing tender joints and reducing that stiffness that comes when you roll out of bed in the morning. If you want healthy, glowing skin, add a little more fish to your diet. Eating seafood helps your skin hold it’s natural moisture. Your skin glows more from what it naturally produces than what you rub on it! It can also help protect against UV rays from the sun. Eating fish boosts your brainpower. Studies show that seafood omega-3’s could lower the risk of Alzheimer’s Disease, and promote proper brain growth in infants and children. Believe it or not, seafood can even help fight depression. Research shows a strong correlation between omega-3’s and decreasing depression… it helps people have a more positive outlook on life!  Here are some of our favorite recipes for you to try out this week: Crispy Bacon-Wrapped Shrimp Broiled Oysters with Peach & Paprika Creole Shrimp Gumbo Honey Orange-Glazed Grouper
