Improve your health for 2014 - Eat More Fresh Seafood at home!

Now that fresh seafood is available locally at Atlantic Express Seafood, it’s not a problem to start including many nutritious varieties in your meal planning every week this year. Did you know that both shellfish and fish are excellent, low fat sources of protein? A 3-oz serving usually offers you around 20 grams of protein, which is a third of the average daily recommended amount. Protein from seafood is generally lower in fat and calories than beef, pork and poultry and is easily digestible. In addition to being a high quality protein, each variety is chock full of vitamins and beneficial Omega -3 fats! You can try marinating and grilling fish "steaks" for a change of pace. Grilling fish kabobs is easy with firm-fleshed fish. The internet is full of lots of recipes for preparing seafood: which makes it easy to bring some new life into your menus and diet. So why not stop on by this weekend and pick up some of the fresh varieties  that just came in – Haddock, Black grouper, Dungeness crabs and crab meat, Stone crab claws and meat and salmon are here, as well as our regular products? Atlantic Express Seafood is located in the Village at Crooked Creek  Shopping Center( just south of McFarland on Route 9) 6320 Atlanta Highway, Suite 9, Alpharetta, GA 30004, 207-385-0856, www.atlanticexpressseafood.com
