Max your Omega-3s at Catch 35

A quick breeze through our dinner menu shows that we like seafood. A lot. You’ll also see that we like all sorts of fish, too – from yellowfin tuna, Lake Superior whitefish to Chilean sea bass, and everything in between.

So, why the seafood and fish fever?

First, consider that our passion is wonderful tasting, freshly prepared food. We love making fresh fish and other seafood dishes is because of the taste and the texture. They go well with citrus, butter and herb flavors just as well – and in many cases, better – than any poultry or beef dish. Fish just tastes good and soothes the soul, be it served on a salad on a hot June afternoon or served warm with butter on blistery cold winter evening.

Our culinary obsessions aside, there’s another reason why freshly prepared fish is such an important food to us at Catch 35. Fish is not just good for your taste buds, it’s one of the healthiest foods you can eat on the planet.

The best fatty acid

Fish and most types of seafood (including shellfish) contain omega-3 fatty acids, a type of polyunsaturated fat. They are an essential fat as we can’t make it on our own, and it’s difficult to get it from other sources.

Omega-3 is known as a “super” fat because of its many health benefits. These include their anti-inflammatory effect, which can help cure or prevent a variety of health issues. These range from high blood pressure to heart disease and even cancers. Omega-3s also have many known cognitive benefits as well, improving memory and keeping our minds sharp as we get older.

Simply put, omega-3s are essential to our healthy minds and bodies. It’s easy (and delicious) to get an optimal amount by eating 2 to 4 servings of seafood a week, As a bonus, seafood is naturally lower in saturated fats than beef and some poultry.
