"Many
people have a desire to eat more seafood, however there is a genuine fear of cooking it in the home. They have heard about
the health benefits of adding more fish and shellfish to their diet, and there is good medical evidence today that fish high
in Omega 3 oils can help to reduce cholesterol levels and promote a healthy heart. Once consumers discover just easy it is
to prepare delicious seafood dishes in the home and how to cook them successfully, I am convinced that all across America
people will EAT MORE SEAFOOD."

PERFORMING CHEF
"The more that consumers know about
seafood and how to cook it in the home, the closer they become to being real seafood lover's.
Fear of cooking seafood
in the home is the biggest reason why consumers prepare less seafood in the home. Yet, of all of the high protein-low carb
food sources in the market today, seafood cooks fast and tastes great!" Michael F. Bavota
