My Love for Seafood Do you love seafood or fish? Hi all, Welcome to MrandMsCooking.com—a website created by a community of cooking enthusiasts with the goal of providing books for novice cooks featuring the best recipes, at the most affordable prices, and valuable gifts. Before we go to the recipes in the book “Hello! 123 Oyster Recipes”, I have an interesting story to share with you. I am fortunate enough to grow up in a family who loves to eat fish on Long Island, New York, where there is plenty of fresh seafood. Which is also the same situation in Boston, Massachusetts, where I live now which also located on the Eastern coast of the United States. A wide selection of fish, oysters, mussels and lobster are some of the delights that I feast on which rounds out my plant-based diet. Not everyone likes all kinds of seafood like I do. It differs from each person to person. I am truly surprised by the number of people I know who do not eat seafood. It could depending on a number of factors like where they grew up, where they live and how they were raised. Though seafood is readily available everywhere in today’s world, most Americans fail to eat the recommended quantity for a healthy diet. Even though there are health reasons why you should eat seafood, if you don’t for ethical reasons, but it is still possible to keep your diet healthy without it. Keep in mind that if you don’t like seafood or just didn’t eat it much growing up, maybe it’s time to give it another try. One of the best reasons to eat seafood is the nutrients that you can get. Most species are a good source of protein and rich in fatty acids called omega-3 (unsaturated fats) that are essential for eye, heart, brain and bone health. Another good reason to eat seafood is that it is down-right delicious! I know that we should consider what we eat, and we have a duty to protect the oceans and make sure there are enough fish for everyone in the future; however, it’s also important to add a reasonable amount of seafood to your diet. The greatest inspiration that I can share to all non-fish eaters is this: I husband did not eat any seafood before we met since he did not grow up not eating it. He then began to order seafood in restaurants after eating many of my home-cooked dishes over the years. He even shoots oysters now. We all know that change is inevitable and it’s also true with taste preferences. Do you recall switching from whole to skim milk? Or replacing white bread with whole wheat? You just need to give yourself a chance and constant exposure would help you to adapt along with a few good dishes. Having said that, with the right fish and right dishes, you can also begin to love seafood like I do. This Seafood Series covers these subjects: • Mussel Recipes • Lobster Recipes • Low-Sodium Seafood Recipes • Scallop Recipes • Crab Recipes • ...
