There are a few guarantees that come with the holiday season. First, you’ll see many friends and loved ones we don’t always get to interact with. We know there will be plenty of opportunities to wine, dine, and exchange presents. Of course, there’s always bound to be a lot of running around as we prepare for the celebrations that we all partake in. When it comes to preparing all of those holiday feasts, there’s a lot of work involved and the prospect of putting on a few pounds that we’re not too fond of. Here at PJ’s Lobster House, we have the perfect solution—by taking advantage of our fish market, you can get some fresh seafood to freshen up the holiday season.

Some of the meals that are commonly associated with the holidays are quite tasty. Turkey, stuffing, various roasted meats…but they also have the tendency to pack on the pounds and leave us feeling more fattening than fulfilled. On the other hand, seafood is easier to prepare, and the advantages won’t stop with simple preparation. Seafood contains high concentrations of protein and much less fat than various red meats. Fish can be consumed in considerable quantities without leaving you in a food coma or having you worry about having to increase your pants size. Aside from its beneficial low-calorie count and low-fat content, seafood is one of the most beneficial items for your cardiovascular system. Seafood, especially salmon, has high concentrations of fatty acids known as omega-3s, which are essential for maintaining a healthy heart. In fact, the American Heart Association recommends that adults get two to three servings of fish a week for this precise reason.
