The United States Department of Agriculture says twice a week, make seafood the protein on your plate. Increase the amount and variety of seafood consumed by choosing seafood in place of some meat and poultry.
Lloyd and I tried to take advantage of Oahu over the weekend, because we are going to be off-island three of the next four weekends (two weddings in California and a relay race on Maui). So Saturday we spent a good five hours on a spectacular hike called Manoa Cliff Trail to Nuuanu trail to Judd/Jackass Ginger Pool. I'm only sharing the long and complicated name because if you ever get the chance to go, this is the best hike we've done on Oahu.
It's also right by the Round Top Drive lookout, which offers THE best view of Honolulu (and beyond).
Since we're going to be gone so much over the next few weeks, my fear of wasting food has me gobbling up any and all leftovers and perishable food. This morning that resulted in a delicious slice of leftover homemade eggplant, green olive, mushroom, caper, and anchovy pizza for breakfast. So count this as one of the very limited fish for breakfast pictures I've ever posted.
No supper plan this week because of the pre-travel purge and only a couple meals at home.
I am a registered dietitian with the National Fisheries Institute, so fish is my nutrition forte. I earned my BA in Communication from Southwestern University, just outside of Austin, TX. During college, one of my very favorite evening outings was a leisurely trip to the grocery market. My passion for food was undeniable, so I combined both of my interests by earning my MS in Nutrition Communication from Tufts University in Boston, MA. As well as my Registered Dietitian (RD) credential through the University of Delaware.
Beyond reading scientific studies about docosahexaenoic acid and selenium, I love to entertain, travel, watch reality TV, grill outdoors, and go to spin class. I live in Kailua, HI on the island of Oahu where my husband serves as a US Marine Corps JAG.
People in Hawaii eat more fish and shellfish than average, but over 80 percent of typical Americans don't eat seafood at least twice per week. Doctors and dietitians like me say that's the goal, so BlogAboutSeafood is here to show you just what plenty of seafood looks like in an RD's real-life diet.
