Fish for brains ? yes, and more !



7,200  lives could be saved if we Canadians ate more fish every week than is recommended in Canada’s food guide.  They recommend 5.3 ounces a week . That’s barely a can of tuna !
How much fish is more fish ??? 



Add this amount to your weekly diet to be heart smart:


29 grams of farmed Salmon ( that’s only a quarter of a fillet of salmon )


33 grams of Canned sockeye salmon (not even half of a tall can)


52 grams of halibut ( piece as big as a pack of cards )


195 grams of shrimp  ( an entire shrimp ring )


228 grams of canned tuna (one and a quarter cans)


338 grams of cod ( three fillets of cod )
So salmon is the easiest way to get all that good EPA and DHA .



If we farm it we will be healthier, we will create jobs, and everyone will be happier!
