Fleur de Lolly: Fish is yummy and healthy

We all know that foods rich in omega-3 are good for us. “Oily” fish is a simple way to incorporate that goodness into our diets. By regularly including these types of fish into our meals, we can help reduce the risk of developing cardiovascular disease and lower cholesterol levels.

I’ll never forget the afternoon I spied smelt in the neighborhood grocery’s fish case. I will be honest with you. I had never heard of smelt. But, yes, I was ready to take one for the Fleur de Lolly team. The taste was on par with sardines. Smelt are “fishy,” but not overwhelmingly so. And, for reference sake, a pound of these fish will feed a crowd! Each little fish measures between 2 to 3 inches long, so plan accordingly.
