In many homes, seafood for dinner is a special treat. You get lobster for dinner when there is an anniversary or when it's Valentine's Day. Shrimp cocktail or wild salmon is what marks the visit of important guests. It is this way because seafood is expensive. But fish and other members of this class of foods can be extremely nutritious, too. It's hardly fair to deny yourself this source of nutrition; a daily menu that includes some seafood can be a great way to stay healthy and still be lean. If only cheap seafood were a reality.
But it can be, if you know how. You just need to know what kind of seafood to go for. And you need to be sure that you stay safe from salmonella and other food poisoning nasties.
Smoked salmon, if you buy it at the seafood counter can cost you $40 a pound. Is there any way you can enjoy smoked salmon on a bagel with cream cheese without bankrupting yourself? Well, you certainly can't buy it very cheap; but you could get half off by buying smoked salmon trimmings. When you buy the full retail product, there's a lot around the edges and other places that the butchers have trimmed off – to dress the meat to make it look good.
