Fantastic Fish Fridays

In the spirits of today being Friday Eve, I decided to make a post about the fantastic wonders of fish and how college students, like myself can get their fair amount of the ocean’s chicken (that sounds wierd, but it makes sense right?). Any who, there are many ways to cook fish and luckily many health benefits that come along with the seafood aswell.

Health Benefits and Facts according to the Washington State Department of Health:

• Fish is a low-fat high quality protein.
• Filled with omega-3 fatty acids and vitamins such as D and B2 (riboflavin).
• Rich in calcium and phosphorus and a great source of minerals, such as iron, zinc, iodine, magnesium, and potassium.
• Fish is packed with protein, vitamins, and nutrients that can lower blood pressure and help reduce the risk of a heart attack or stroke.

Here are some cheap and healthy ways that I personally get my fish intake (prices vary per store):

• Chicken of the Sea Chunck Light Tuna in Water Can ($1.09)

• Gorton’s Fish Sticks ($4.98)

• Healthy Choice Lemon Pepper Fish ($2.95)

• Gorton’s Grilled Salmon ($3.94)

 

• Smoked Salmon Jerky ($6.99)
• 
  

Now that you have some fantastic fish products go celebrate Friday Eve with a big plate of fish and chips!
