Seafood is a beneficial addition to any dietary lifestyle—whether someone calls themselves a pescatarian (a vegetarian who incorporates seafood into their diet) or not. In fact, shrimp and many finfish are known for providing a powerful punch of protein, without much saturated fat.
Although shrimp and salmon reign as the most popular seafood among U.S. consumers, creative operators can also achieve great success by serving something slightly different, like a delicious grilled branzino with roasted beets or fillet of snapper rubbed with jerk spices. Although we usually think of seafood as a dinner or lunch ingredient, you can use it across the dayparts and across your menu to make the most of your inventory. For example, elevate and lighten up a breakfast by replacing smoked meats with seafood. Smoked salmon makes a terrific substitute for ham or sausage, and also raises your check average by several dollars.
45% of those eating more seafood say they’re doing it because they’re trying to eat healthier.
