Going for More Fish

Containing lots of what’s good for you and little that’s not, fish for dinner once or twice a week just makes sense.

Fish has a lot going for it. It's healthful, flavorful, versatile and available almost everywhere. Nutrition-wise, fish is loaded with high-quality protein and is low in fat, saturated fat, cholesterol and calories.
Fish is so quick and easy to prepare. Cook by broiling, baking, steaming, stir-frying, poaching, grilling, microwaving, sautéing. Our recipes will please the most finicky eater.
Cook fish fast and hot. The general rule is to allow 10 minutes for each inch of its thickness. Fish should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145°F. It’s done when you poke it with a fork and it flakes easily.
When lean and healthy is your goal, depend on orange roughy, red snapper and cod as they’re types of lean fish with less than 2.5 percent fat. They all have a mild flavor, too.
Look for specials on canned tuna or salmon. Look for plenty of fast and easy recipes using those two cupboard staples.
