Great info about what sets our central coast’s seafood apart! We are really excited to be working more directly with fishermen out of Moss Landing Harbor, located in the heart of Monterey Bay, right at the mouth of the deep-sea canyon described in this blog post.

Let’s get saucy with some slammin salmon. Add a spoonful of gingery miso sauce plus some minced garlic to a bowl full of baked salmon, steamed jasmine rice and sautéed bok choy for an easy and delicious meal. : Barons Market + Haven's Kitchen

Let’s eat healthier in 2021! Consider these 10 tips by Seafood Nutrition Partnership: 1. CREATIVE COOKING - did you get a new kitchen gadget for the holidays? If not, consider getting a cast iron skillet, air fryer or grill pan to cook up healthy seafood. 2. FRESH MINDSET - it’s traditional to say fresh is the best, but don’t rule out the variety of canned and frozen options.... 3. GO BEYOND THE FILLET - try salmon burgers, shrimp stir fry, fish tacos or seafood pasta. We carry an array of value-added items that are ready to cook like stuffed salmon and seafood kabobs. 4. THINK ABOUT THE FUTURE - choose seafood that is sustainably caught or farmed so we can enjoy seafood for generations. Businesses can ask us about our array of sustainable seafood options or reference Seafood Watch. 5. SUPPORT YOUR COMMUNITY - Get seafood to-go from your local restaurant. At Lusamerica, we offer businesses West Coast seafood like sole, rockfish and sablefish to help support our fishing community. You can even meet the local fishermen we work with on our website (Lusamerica.com/meet-the-fishermen) 6. JAZZ UP THE FLAVOR Fresh herbs like basil, oregano, thyme and tarragon add flavor and are packed with healthy antioxidants and vitamins. 7. TRY A NEW VARIETY there are hundreds of seafood species available. Mix it up with Arctic char, sole, sablefish, rockfish, branzino, catfish, cod, mussels, oysters, halibut, trout, swordfish, scallops and so much more! If it’s seafood, we carry it. 8. PERFECT PAIRINGS seafood pairs great with other healthy foods like fruits, nuts and veggies. Try crab salad with grapefruit and walnuts. Fish with fennel, orange and raisins. Or easily toss spinach, broccoli and tomatoes in a pan with your fillet. 9. GO BEYOND FISH & SHELLFISH incorporate the health benefits of seaweed. Mix this sea-veggie into your soups and dishes to add a nutritious, salty flavoring. We have seaweed salad available for businesses. 10. START WITH SEAFOOD Breakfast is an overlooked meal when it comes to seafood. Add tuna, salmon, shrimp or crab to an omelet or frittata. Or take your bagels to the next level with smoked salmon . Businesses can call us for their seafood needs and checkout SeafoodNutrition.org for more recipes/tips!
