Fish ... is it in your menu plans ?

Fish is among the healthiest foods on the planet. It is loaded with important nutrients, such as protein and vitamin D. Fish is also the world’s best source of omega-3 fatty acids, which are incredibly important for your body and brain. Fish is delicious and easy to prepare, for this reason, it should be relatively easy to incorporate it into the diet. Eating fish 1-2 times per week is considered sufficient to reap the benefits. If possible, choose wild-caught fish over farmed. Wild fish tends to have more omega-3's and is less likely to be contaminated with harmful pollutants. That being said, even if eating farmed fish, the benefits still far outweigh the risks. All types of fish are good for you. Do you include fish in your menu plans?

We are not big fish eaters, but I know I should make it more. We do eat tuna.. The Rustic Ratatouille sounds really good though!

I like fish a lot. Funny in the winter time I don't crave it the same way I do in the warm weather. Unless you add it to soup or make a chowder. Have a wonderful FRiday Jan.

I was going to have some fish for my lunch today, but I had a delicious meat pie, instead. Maybe tomorrow! :)

Used to eat fish daily, but here we can just get the farm raised one, so I cut down to once in a few months...

Of course the fish will turn out great this way,
but also stuffed peppers and ratatouille
are fantastic and extremely nutritious foods!

I sadly have a very hard time eating fish, it´s my Dad´s genes. I supplement with omega 3... My Mom made fish-patties that were really yummy, but she never shared the recipe...

The fish pie recipe looks delicious. I always say that i should try to eat more fish, and yet I never do. Thanks for this reminder. X

I know fish is supposed to be good for you but living in Georgia, our fish is not the best. Fresh is best, I think! One of the things I love about England is the fish!

Yes, we plan on salmon for dinner soon.
The stuffed peppers look delicious.
Take care, have a great day and a happy weekend.

I used to eat fish before I was a veggie. I am trying to get my daughter to eat fish but she isn't keen!
