Tasty Frozen Fish Entrees
The healthy and tasty frozen seafood entrees are a great catch.
You know is good for you, supplying a hefty dose of the 50-60 grams of protein required daily. But even if you know how to cook it, you probably have 1,001 reasons for not doing so. Fresh fish costs too much, it takes too long to prepare, and the clean up? Well, yuck.
Life just got easier. Take a stroll through the frozen food section of your supermarket and you`ll find a growing number of frozen fish dishes. Pop them in the oven for delicious, healthy low-fat fish minus the scales, slime and high cost.
Unlike the fat-laden fish sticks of our childhood, these new frozen offerings are actually low in fat and some even provide small amounts of healthful omega-3 fatty acids. Try the new “grilled” fish fillets from that old-timer Mrs. Paul`s, flavored with sophisticated seasonings and sauce. Believe it or not, you can enjoy lean cuisine baked breaded fish fillet, pasta with cheddar and garden vegetables for 270 calories and 6 grams of fat. That`s a whole lot less than the 400-plus calories in a fast food fish sandwich.
Although Mrs. Paul`s still has more than 30 percent of calories from fat in her fish fillets, less than a third or it is saturated fat, and the taste is terrific. Add a baked potato and a green salad for a wholesome meal.
If you`re a pasta and shellfish lover, a few entrees combine these ingredients with tasty results. While nothing in a box can guarantee the tenderness and taste of a fresh catch, with some selective fishing you can stock your freezer with meal makings in convenient boxes that fill nutritional gaps in your diet and satisfy your taste for seafood too.
