Health experts recommend making seafood, including fish and shellfish, a primary protein source on our plate at least twice a week. The 2020-2025 Dietary Guidelines for Americans suggest incorporating eight ounces of various seafood into a healthy diet each week. While most Americans consume enough protein overall, research reveals that nearly 90% fail to meet the seafood-specific recommendations. Swapping processed or high-fat meats for seafood can reduce intake of saturated fat and sodium, two nutrients often consumed in excess of the recommended limits.
