Is fish a regular part of your diet? How to eat more fish when you’re not a big fan?
I must admit, we don’t eat enough fish. I used to serve fish about once a week but then the kids stopped enjoying it once they reached a certain age. My husband would barbecue salmon at least once a week, but he too slowed down after we read more about farmed Atlantic salmon and wild fish is quite expensive.
There is plenty of evidence out there that people who eat fish regularly are less likely to have cardiovascular disease. The benefits come from omega-3 fatty acids and although fish oil supplements are popular, it’s not a sufficient replacement for eating fish.
On average Canadians should be eating almost one more serving of fish each week. A recent study conducted by The Canadian Aquacultural Industry Alliance reports that, on average, Canadians consume just 101g of fish or seafood a week. This is almost a full serving short of the Canada Food Guide recommended two 75g portions of fish or seafood a week.
That’s why Jamie Oliver is challenging Canadians to eat more fish with the release of his new frozen fish range in Sobeys stores across Canada! I LOVE Jamie Oliver and what he does, partnering with Sobeys and encouraging Canadians to eat real food.
Made with Marine Stewardship Council (MSC)-certified Pollock, Jamie’s range includes range includes: Crispy Pollock Fishcakes; Brilliant Fish Fillet Fingers and Crispy Pollock & Sweetcorn Fishcakes.When it comes to fish in Canada, Alaska Pollock often swims under the radar. The mild, white-fleshed fish is high in protein, low in fat and contains heart healthy omega-3 fatty acids.
I like that Jamie Oliver’s fish products are made with simple ingredients and no additives – just fish and breadcrumbs pretty much. My kids haven’t eaten fish in a while but they seemed to enjoy Jamie’s Fish Fingers especially.
Here is a recipe for Jamie Oliver’s Fish Finger Sandwich, a great idea for lunch that the kids will enjoy:

4. Press it all down and that’s going to be one tasty sandwich!
