The importance of eating sea foods cannot really be overemphasised. Before we get deep into this post, let's start by understanding what sea foods are:
According to freedictionary.com ''seafoods are edible fish or shellfish from the sea.''
Wikipedia defines seafood ''as any form of sea life regarded as food by humans. It could in form of fish or shellfish''.
This could be- Crab, Salmon, Cod, Catfish, Canned Tuna, Pollock, Tilapia, Shrimp, Scallops/Flatfish amongst others (National Marine Fisheries Services (2009).
Growing up, one way or the other, I really disliked sea-foods, maybe cos of its smell. I really can't place my hands around the reason why I disliked sea-foods so much. Not until recently (say a year and half ago) that I really fell in love with sea-foods.
Once I am served any dish that has sea-foods in it, I get really excited. Sea-foods can be prepared with any food. Be it joll of rice (here is how to prepare it>>> chidinmainspirations.blogspot.com/2014/09/how-to-prepare-joll-of-rice-nigerian-way.html?spref=tw … ), coconut rice (here is how to prepare it>>> http://chidinmainspirations.blogspot.com/2014/08/step-by-step-guide-on-how-to-prepare.html?spref=tw … ),bitter leaf soup ( how to prepare it here >>> chidinmainspirations.blogspot.com/2014/08/step-by-step-guide-on-how-to-prepare_27.html?spref=tw … ) , stew, sushi (find below), pepper soup and the list goes on and on.
As was earlier mentioned in a recent post on why you need to eat Sushi >>> bit.ly/1uBibZA (you can find that here) that Salmon is a major ingredient which is used is prepare this delicious dish. And I promised to go in-depth of the health benefits of Salmon. Well... here you have it *Smiles*

I hope as you read along, you get inspired to eat more of sea-foods.
