Susta<\/span>inable Seafood<\/span><\/span><\/h5>\n

The\u00a0pristine waters of the\u00a0Coral Sea is home to some of the best seafood in the world.\u00a0\u00a0Here\u00a0the\u00a0level of pollution\u00a0is extremely low, providing a wonderful clean green environment.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0World Heritage Great Barrier Reef that spans the length of the tropical coast has a symbiotic relationship to, and is a breeding ground for numerous species such as Coral Trout and Yellow Fin Tuna, Spanish Mackerel, Nannygai, and Red Emperor. These species remain in around the reef until large enough to travel further afield where fishing is permitted.<\/p>\n

In this\u00a0environmentally sensitive region, commercial\u00a0fishing\u00a0is proudly managed to a sustainable level\u00a0yet\u00a0still able to supply an abundance of\u00a0King, Tiger, Banana and Endeavour\u00a0prawns from the Gulf of Carpentaria, Princess Charlotte Bay and the Coral Sea.<\/p>\n

Yet there are a number of other lesser know species of seafood from the region that provide quality matching its better known cousins.\u00a0 Try Threadfin Blue or King Salmon, Trevally or Rock Cod, Saddletail, Goldband Snapper or Stripey Sea Perch.\u00a0 All stunning fish.\u00a0<\/p>\n

To remain sustainable, seasons bring on the excitement of trying new species and speaking to your local fishmonger will give you great ideas to cook seafood.<\/p>\n

However, not enough can be said for ‘keeping it simple’\u00a0 Seafood is best cooked as simply as it can to deliver the best flavour.\u00a0 see our recipe section<\/strong><\/p>\n

Health Benefits of Eating Seafood<\/span><\/h5>\n

It is recommended that our diet includes at least 2 meals of seafood per week.\u00a0The protein, omega 3 oils and minerals are essential to our diet.\u00a0 The Omega 3 oils have been proven to reduce cardio-vascular disease, dementia, depression and diabetics.\u00a0\u00a0 For more information\u00a0 on health aspects of seafood, discover\u00a0 the omega 3\u00a0website at\u00a0 http:\/\/www.omega-3centre.com\/<\/span><\/a> <\/span><\/p>\n
