Seafood Nutrition Tips for Families

Incorporating seafood into your family’s diet has big health benefits:

  • Omega-3s: Found in salmon, tuna, and shellfish, they support brain and eye development in kids.
  • Protein: Essential for muscle growth and keeping energy levels up.
  • Low Saturated Fat: Seafood is naturally lean and heart-healthy.

For picky eaters, try introducing seafood in fun formats, like fish tacos or crispy popcorn shrimp, to make new flavors approachable.
