Fish and Health
It is now widely recognised that fish and seafood generally are vital components of any healthy diet.
Studies have all concluded that eating up to two portions of fish each week was highly beneficial, and that the consumption of fish could reduce the risk of fatal heart disease by as much as a third. The crucial factor is the level of omega-3 fatty acids, so oily fish such as salmon are especially good for people's health.
Omega-3 fatty acids from seafood also improve brain development for babies and young children. These benefits can be passed on to babies from their pregnant mothers, or through breast-milk.
Research shows clearly that concerns about health risk though pollution have been greatly exaggerated, and that there is, on the other hand, a real risk from not eating fish. The Food Standards Agency advises that we should eat two servings of fish a week, with one of them oily. We at the Seafood Training Centre are keen to change that, and we are here to offer people the skills to satisfy increased demand for seafood as its benefits become more widely known. We run courses specifically for the General Public to help you learn how to cook and prepare any fish or seafood you want to try. Fun courses on either a one to one basis or with a couple of friends (price does not increase if there is only one of you).
As long as you are over 16 you can take a course. This option is also available for trainee chefs, chefs, dinner ladies, Schools in fact
anyone who wants to learn how to prepar & cook fish & Shellfish.
