Jan. 18, 2011 — -- Do you find yourself scratching your head at the seafood counter? For years we've been hearing about how healthy it is, but what about mercury? And which seafood is environmentally friendly?
Well to help you sort it all out the Monterey Bay Aquarium's Seafood Watch program has developed some handy tools you can access right from your mobile phone at www.SeafoodWatch.org.
No cell phone? Just print out the pocket guide and stash it in your purse or wallet. Now when you're at the store you'll know exactly which seafood to add to your cart.
You may be surprised to know that some of the safest and healthiest choices are actually farm raised.
Bake, broil or grill, pair with veggies, such as broccoli sautéed in olive oil, and a whole grain, like brown or wild rice, and you have a dinner that earns an A+ for nutrition that you can feel good about feeding yourself and your family.
