The last couple days have been busy beyond belief. So this will be a speedy blog, featuring two speedy seafood meals. For lunch yesterday I concocted a tuna noodle stir-fry by sautéing canned tuna, frozen lima beans, and sea asparagus in peanut oil (estimated time = 5 minutes) and mixing with cooked soba noodles (estimated time = 8 minutes).
For dinner, I soaked the Ahi tuna we got this weekend in olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic (estimated time = 10 minutes); pan-seared the fillet (estimated time = 8 minutes, 4 per side); placed it atop the soba noodles from lunch (estimated time = 2 minutes); and topped the dish off with a splash of soy sauce and lemon (estimated time = 2 minutes).
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.

That all looks and sounds great. Have you ever purchased seafood online or do you just grab what you need at a market? I'm sure buying online and having it delivered overnight would make your quick meals even quicker. It is great knowing that I can buy delicious seafood right from my computer since I live nowhere near any markets. Check out a company like www.simplylobsters.com if you would like a quick-fix. I have used them before and everything was fantastic (including shipping prices). That aside, I definitely enjoy your blog. I love seafood and hearing about other's experiences and recipes. Keep them coming!
Hello -- I have not ordered seafood online because there is so much right here in Hawaii, but it seems like a wonderful option for landlocked seafood lovers. I do order many other things online, though...while seafood is abundant in Hawaii, clothing and home stores are another story (we JUST got our first Target!).
