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.
So the concert at the aquarium last Thursday evening had no fish, other than the live ones of course. Since my week was turning out to be pretty skimpy on seafood, I made sure to make my favorite tempting tuna wrap Friday for lunch.
I'm so excited about the fresh and filling combination of ingredients in this wrap that I probably won't be branching out for a while. But when I do, I'll try one of these tasty tuna recipes.
Last week's Supper Plan got very little attention thanks to a variety of excuses to eat out. But I'm back on track this week in the hopes of using up all our groceries while they're still fresh.

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.
