There are also many health benefits associated with seafood, making it much healthier than other meat-based dishes. Why Fresh Seafood is So Much Better! Fresh seafood is known to have many health benefits and should actually be a regular part of your diet. The American Heart Association recommends that you consume at least two servings of fish a week. Fish are rich in Omega-3s which reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and blood clots. In addition to this, Hunky Dory fish is always fresh with a difference you can taste. Health Benefits As stated above, regular consumption of fish can lower your risk of heart disease and blood clots. It is also believed that nutrition can be lost by freezing a fish and defrosting it. Since fish are mainly composed of water and freezing fish causes the water to expand, it is commonly thought that water-soluble vitamins such as vitamin B12 can be lost in the process. Some of the other benefits of regular consumption of fish are: Supports brain development Lowers depression Lowers risk of Alzheimer’s disease Improves skin and hair Taste In the old days before refrigeration, fish was caught and consumed within hours. This is because fish does not have a very long shelf life. And when it is frozen for too long, many believe that the difference in taste is apparent. A fresh fish will obviously taste fresher than a thawed out one. The texture will be less mushy and more consistent throughout. Hunky Dory uses only the freshest of fish, so you can be assured that the fish that arrives on your doorstep is fresh, delicious and ready to be cooked.
