The message of the USDA's updated Dietary Guidelines is clear: Eat more seafood to help fight obesity and improve your overall health. It recommends increasing consumption of seafood to 8 oz or more per week for those ages 3 and up. (Assuming the typical serving is 4 oz, this recommendation would be equivalent to two servings a week.)
Gorton's Seafood is inspiring consumers to get their twice-a-week seafood by sharing delicious travel-themed seafood recipes in their new Seafood Lover's Sweepstake, and will give away a grand prize Seafood Lover's getaway to one of six amazing destinations including Gloucester, Massachusetts; Key West, Florida; Las Vegas, Nevada; the Caribbean; the Greek Isles; or Italy.
