Eat Well Nutrition Education Program Eat Well! A Newsletter for Healthy Eating Seafood on a Budget By Kate Yerxa, Extension Educator Summer 2016 Inside fffood Bites Food Recall Reminders ffkid s Korner Geting Physically Active with Free Fishing Days ffask Eat Well Deborah Barnett, Kennebec County fffood Safety Seafood Intake for Women and Children ffeat Well Recipe Oven-Fried Fish Fillets Seafood includes fish, such as salmon, tuna and haddock, and shellfish, such as shrimp, clams and crab. The 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend people should increase the amount and variety of seafood consumed by choosing seafood in place of some meat and poultry. Adults should consume 8 or more ounces, or two meals, of seafood per week. Seafood is high in omega-3 fatty acids. Seafood is also low in saturated fat, and high in vitamins and minerals. A diet high in omega-3 fatty acids can reduce the risk of heart disease. By eating different types of seafood, you get the health benefits without the unhealthy mercury in some types of seafood. Mercury in seafood is a big health concern for women of reproductive age and young children. Types of seafood that are low in mercury include: Fish: salmon, sardines, Atlantic mackerel, haddock, cod, pollock, flounder and sole Shellfish: Mussels, scallops, clams, shrimp, and lobster Meeting the recommendations for seafood does not have to cost a lot of money. Try these tips to eat two meals per week of different seafood while staying on budget. 1. Try canned seafood. Tuna and canned salmon can be used in place of each other in recipes. Use water-packed tuna or salmon to reduce the amount of fat and sodium in your diet. Try making salmon patties or baked salmon loaf with canned fish. Some canned seafood may be high in sodium. Remember to check the Nutrition Facts Label to choose canned seafood with less added salt. 2. Use frozen fish. Frozen seafood is of equal quality to fresh seafood. Continued on page 2 Looking for ways to save money on food? The Eat Well! newsletter has always given you great ideas on how to save money on food. Now these ideas are even easier to spot. Look for this picture in the Eat Well newsletter to find great tips to save money on food. SAVE MONEY.

Seafood on a Budget cont d from page 1 Frozen fish can be cooked without thawing. Cooking time will double if using frozen fish. 3. Buy fish on sale. 4. Try imitation crab or lobster. These items are made from different types of fish and are low in mercury. Try making a seafood sandwich for lunch or dinner with the imitation crab. 5. Try seafood chowder. Seafood chowder can be a healthy, inexpensive meal by using a smaller amount of fish with a lot of vegetables and low-fat milk. References: Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2015-2020.

Food Bites Food Recall Reminders By Kathy Savoie, Extension Educator You may have seen a number of food recalls in the news lately. A food recall is a voluntary action by a manufacturer or distributor to protect the public from products that may cause health problems or possible death. What should you do if you realize the food recall is for a food that you have in your home? Don t eat the food and don t give the food to people or a food pantry. Don t open the food. Check the recall notice to find out what to do with the recalled food. When a manufacturer recalls a food product, they provide instructions on what to do with the product. For information on recalls of meat, poultry and egg products, call the USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at 1-888-674-6854. For information on recalls of foods other than meat, poultry and egg products, contact the FDA Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition s Outreach and Information Center at 1-888-SAFE FOOD (1-888-723-3366). 2 A Newsletter for Healthy Eating

Kid s Korner Getting Physically Active with Free Fishing Days Fishing is a great way to get physically active while having fun! Hey kids grab an adult and head outdoors for a day of fishing. It is wonderful physical activity and lots of fun! Start by digging in the ground to find your own worms to use for bait. Each year the State of Maine offers free fishing days. These family fishing days are designed to encourage people to get outdoors and enjoy a day of fishing with family and friends. Free family fishing days for the summer of 2016 are June 4 th and 5 th. On these days, any person, except those whose fishing license has been suspended or revoked, may fish without a license. All other laws and regulations apply on these days. To obtain more information about fishing in your area visit www.maine.gov/ifw/fishing/ opportunities/index.htm. Summer 3

Ask Eat Well Deborah Barnett Community Education Assistant, Kennebec County Deborah Barnett has worked for the University of Maine Cooperative Extension Eat Well Nutrition Education Program in Kennebec County for the past four years. The thing Deborah enjoys most about her job is working with students in area schools. Deborah says, There is nothing better than seeing the excitement on their faces as I walk into a classroom. Family is very important to Deborah. When she is not at work, her time is spent with her two grandchildren, her daughters, her fiancé and their rescue dog, Jed. She also enjoys kayaking, finding a quiet island and reading a good book. Q. My child will not eat any seafood. Do you have any tips? A. My grandson, like many children, enjoys helping with family meals and is more willing to try different foods if he is part of the preparation. As you are planning your weekly menu, suggest fish tacos for supper one night. At mealtime, have your child help prepare the ingredients. Child-friendly activities could include tearing lettuce, cutting green onions and peppers with safety scissors or putting foods in separate bowls. When it is time to eat, have them assemble their own taco on a whole wheat soft tortilla. Add a small piece of oven-fried fish fillet (see recipe on page 6), salsa, lowfat shredded cheese, and top it with a variety of colorful vegetables. Fold the tortilla in half, and dinner is ready. While you eat, you can talk about the flavors, textures and colors of the foods. When you go to the grocery store, ask your child what types of vegetables they would like to incude in the taco. Choose vegetables with a variety of colors and textures. Spinach or lettuce, tomatoes, peppers, and green onion are colorful choices.

Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should also consume at least 8 ounces, up to 12 ounces of a variety of seafood per week. The two to three meals per week should be from seafood choices lower in mercury that are listed on page one. Fish to Avoid: Swordfish Shark King mackerel Tilefish Freshwater fish from Maine s inland waters. Except, for brook trout and landlocked salmon, 1 meal per month is safe. The following recommendations are for pregnant and breastfeeding women and children under the age of eight.
