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:

I like my fish BBQed or battered and baked. My kids love fish, especially cod nuggets.
We all like fish in this house, but I rarely make it because I just don’t have any confidence in making fish!
I love fish, but the rest of my family is not so keen, especially my oldest daughter. We all love salmon the best, either on the bbq or baked, but I also love white fish – I like to do a nut crust and bake it. During summer we usually stick to Fish & Chips at the beach etc, or salmon on the bbq, but the rest of the year we have a homemade baked fish dinner once a week. My kids will eat it (my youngest seems to love it like I do), but there is some grumbling from the older one…
I like my fish grilled the kids not too much!
We love fish in our house, my kids especially. Fried, grilled, baked , it’s all good with them.
I am not crazy about fish but will eat tuna now and then, my kids are just getting to an age where I can introduce it to them
