Getting Into The Swim Of It
Trying to add fish and seafood to your diet? Here are some tips to help you get started:
Start slowly by substituting fish or seafood for another type of main course each week. Once that is an established part of your diet, increase to two fish/seafood meals per week.
- Try marinating fish in your favourite Kraft salad dressing and grilling fish "steaks" such as blue eye or salmon for a change of pace. Grilled fish kebabs are also a possibility with firm-fleshed fish.
- Have a couple of cans of water-packed tuna on hand for quick lunch or dinner ideas. A tuna salad sandwich or a tuna and noodle casserole can be ready in no time.
- Consider a "seafood snack" of tuna or sardines on crackers between meals.
- Introduce fish and seafood to your children so they get into the habit of eating it and develop a taste for it.
- Choose steamed, grilled or baked fish more often than fried, which is higher in total fat.
