A tasty fish with MORE omega-3′s than salmon?

Brought to you by

Hello again

Here’s another great blog post from fitness expert Mike Geary

One thing I love about Mike are his tips on real food and how to use it for optimal health and fitness.

Now I personally don’t eat fish regularly because I simply don’t like the taste.

For that reason it’s vital that I try to get EFA’s from other sources like grass fed meats and supplements like Pro Grade EFA Icon:

A tasty fish with MORE omega-3′s than salmon?

About 6 months ago, while I was on a trip in beautiful San Diego (the home of legendary Ron Burgundy), I was at a nice dinner with some friends and tried a type of fish that I had never tried before — sablefish (aka black cod).

I was so blown away at how delicious this fish was, and when I did a little research on the nutritional content of it, I found out that it had very comparable levels of omega-3′s, including EPA and DHA, as wild salmon…. and sablefish is also very rich in dozens of vitamins and minerals.

Sablefish is yet another one of those cold water fatty fish (healthy fats) from the far northern Pacific. Although it’s called “black cod”, supposedly it is technically not part of the cod family. Another bonus is that this particular fish is not being overfished, and populations in the northern pacific are very healthy.

The sablefish is basically a goldmine of nutrition and one of the tastiest types of fish I’ve ever tried… it literally melts in your mouth and has a sweet buttery flavor.

About 2 weeks ago, I found out that one of my friends who runs an online store selling grass-fed meats and wild fish (and other organic snacks too) has sablefish on their item list… you can find it here:

So I ordered a bunch of it, and just cooked up my first batch today. All I did was thaw the sablefish and then sautee it in a mixture of grass-fed butter, coconut oil, and a little bit of real maple syrup (and a pinch of salt and pepper)…

It only took about 4-5 minutes to cook and it turned out unbelievable!

Buttery, slightly sweet, and full of nutrition.

This is officially my newest healthy treat of a meal.

When I was ordering the sablefish from the online store, there was a 7.5-lb minimum of total weight to complete the order (since they ship you a sealed cooler, so it needs sufficient quantity to make shipping possible), so I ended up loading up on some grassfed beef and some other things…

But what shocked me was that I found that they also have this incredible healthy ice cream that’s made out of coconut cream, cashew cream, and a bunch of other organic ingredients…

To be honest, about 2 years ago, I was looking into producing my own version of healthy ice cream, but when I talked to a couple companies that would have done the manufacturing, I decided that I just didn’t want the hassle of trying to run a company that produced a product like ice cream.

So I was sort of shocked to find that this healthy ice cream I found had a very similar list of ingredients that I was planning on using. I ended up trying the cappuccino ice cream and the chocolate ice cream, and they are absolutely delicious!

They don’t use any refined sugar in the ingredients, but keep in mind that they still have sugar calories from the agave nectar that’s used to sweeten it, so this is not necessarily a low-cal dessert… it’s just non-dairy and uses all organic ingredients, including the cashew cream and coconut cream.

Next time I may just try their Goji berry ice cream too.

All of the varieties are here:

again, if you’re ordering from this store, you’ll want to shop around for some grassfed meats and wild fish too since you can only order with a total weight order of 7.5 lbs (to make the shipping worthwhile for them).

I hope you enjoy these delicious healthy treats I found!

I’m definitely putting that tasty buttery sablefish on my menu a couple times a month from here on out for sure.
