the food chain. Seafood is a rich source of
protein, vitamins, and minerals. Siam Canadian

shrimp rings, breaded shrimp, shrimp skewers.

shellfish are also low in sodium and
cholesterol. Not only is seafood delicious, but
it's nutritious as well. It's a delightful

Seafood contains about twenty percent of the
high quality proteins of red meat and poultry.

diets now specify poly-unsaturated fat, rather
than saturated fat, fish and shellfish make
excellent main dishes. Some frozen shrimp and
seafood are relatively high in fat such as salmon,
mackerel and catfish. However, the fat is primarily
unsaturated.
The cholesterol
content of most frozen shrimp is similar to
red meat and poultry, about twenty milligrams
per ounce. Some shellfish contain more cholesterol
than red meat. However, the fat is mainly poly-unsaturated,
shellfish thus may be allowed for some fat and cholesterol-restricted
diets.
