Grilled Fish Tacos
Contrary to what has been said about seafoods not having any dietary fiber content, fish, mollusks, and crustaceans have considerable amounts of fiber though not as much as those found in oats, strawberries, and similar non-meat food sources. Still, there's much to be said about seafoods making for easy appetizers or satisfying lunch entrees and even delicious side dishes for dinners. Seafoods are also excellent sources of fiber. Several types of fish such as American shad, wild salmon, and carp, as well as crustaceans like lobsters and crabs, and oysters, mussels, scallops, shrimp and squid, all have high fiber content and can be incorporated in a simple but robust cooking recipes, a mixed greens salad recipe with honey-mustard dressing or a mixed seafood stew the way they do it in the Basque region of Spain. High fiber seafoods make for great snacks, too, if you didn't know that. Take for instance, Crab Salad with Jalape単os in Pita Pockets, or Fish Tacos, which has become ubiquitous in the U.S. and a staple in Mexican, Southwestern, and Tex-Mex cookery. On the other hand, Canada's British Columbia and Nova Scotia are home to the most delicious seafoods. This fish taco recipe uses grilled fish instead of the traditional fried to keep them healthier.
