Fuel Your Summer Fun with Seafood

With the busiest month of summer upon us, it’s more important than ever to fuel up with healthy, balanced meals. Between swimming, biking, boating, summer parties, and gardening, our bodies require a lot of energy in the summer. Protein-rich dishes are the perfect solution to fuel busy summer days with your favorite activities by keeping you fuller longer and providing the nutrients your body needs.

Seafood is an excellent source of clean protein, healthy fats, and tons of vitamins. Protein supports the growth of strong, lean muscles, health bones, and an efficient metabolism 

The high omega-3 content of salmon, sablefish, and tuna are part of why seafood is considered a “superfood.” These healthy fatty acids are super beneficial for brain and heart health, reducing inflammation, and are proven to minimize fatigue. 

Seafood is also high in Vitamin B-12 which boosts metabolism, increases energy production, and supports a strong immune system. 

In addition to all the nutritional benefits of eating seafood, it is a delicious and light protein source for summer dinners. Here are some of our favorite energy-boosting seafood recipes to power your end-of-summer fun!
