Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin wrote in his 'Physiologie du gout' (The Physiology of Taste): "In the hands of an able cook, fish can become an inexhaustible source of perpetual delight." And we believe that seafood is also an inexhaustible source of healthy energy and essential nutrients. From omega-3 and various antioxidants to the leanest protein you can find; let the abundance of the sea come to your plate, bask in the rich flavors we have compiled for you. Enjoy!
