CALORIES IN SHELLFISH

Counting Calories In Fish & Shellfish

There are so many advantages of fish.  It cooks up fast, it's low in calories, it's high in essential Vitamins and nutrients and it tastes wonderful.  Some people are allergic to fish - and if you are currently on a medication you'll need to check with your doctor for direction. Isoniazid, a drug used to treat tuberculosis, is one such drug that interacts with fish.  Also, you'll need to limit your intake of certain fish due to originating of our waters in recent years.  This is the latest from the FDA:

"Fish such as shark, swordfish, king mackerel, and tilefish contain high levels of a form of mercury called methyl mercury that may harm an unborn baby's developing nervous system. These long-lived, larger fish that feed on smaller fish accumulate the highest levels of methyl mercury and therefore pose the greatest risk to the unborn child. Mercury can occur naturally in the environment and it can be released into the air through industrial pollution and can get into both fresh and salt water.

The FDA advisory acknowledges that seafood can be an important part of a balanced diet for pregnant women and those of childbearing age who may become pregnant. FDA advises these women to select a variety of other kinds of fish -- including shellfish, canned fish, smaller ocean fish or farm-raised fish -- and that these women can safely eat 12 ounces per week of cooked fish. A typical serving size of fish is from 3 to 6 ounces."

One of my favorite ways to prepare fish it to dust it with lemon pepper and no calorie butter spray and pop it under the broiler.  Served up with a hunk of crunchy bread - this meal is hard to beat!
