North Americans are eating more fish
and seafood today than they did a decade ago. Fish and seafood have
been described as "the quintessential low-fat, low-sodium
food," thereby
appealing to our increasing concern about health and nutrition. It's
a wonderful source of protein, and low in calories.
Trout is naturally low in sodium and calories and
has high levels of Omega-3 fatty acids, which have been proven to lower
blood triglycerides and cholesterol levels, reduce risk of death from
coronary and cardiovascular disease, reduce blood pressure and relieve
the pain of rheumatoid arthritis.
