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.
I am back in Texas, partly for work and partly for fun. The work part includes a lunch meeting yesterday with the American Pregnancy Association at, appropriately, Rockfish Seafood Grill Restaurant. We reviewed the latest seafood science over a delicious meal of blackened trout. Since I was gabbing away most of the time, I barely put a dent in mine, but enjoyed the leftovers for dinner.
The fun part is one of my dearest friend's wedding this weekend. The festivities start this afternoon in Fredericksburg with a pool party followed by dancing and live music. Tomorrow is the wedding at her parents' home and a chuck wagon dinner. Mmmm. I am so happy for the couple and look forward to celebrating.
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.
