So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Finding Out About Nutritious Fresh Fish Online

By Connie Sears


A large number of people want to know more about healthy eating habits, and often discover information about fresh fish online. There are many ways to prepare this dish, such as fried or grilled, and people will also find that it is very good for them in terms of health. It contains many substances that are needed by the body, such as protein, omega-3 and calcium.

This type of food is very healthy, but a few varieties of its kind should be eaten in moderation, as it can be high in mercury. The safest types include salmon like the king salmon and sockeye. This kind of salmon can be eaten every few days if desired, with no harmful effects. Popular, safer fishy meals are also made of sardines, trout, herring and catfish.

The intake of some types of fishes should be limited to just once a week, such as the black sea bass, red snapper, sablefish and black cod. The mercury levels within a few varieties can be a problem for humans, especially for expecting woman and women who intend to fall pregnant. High mercury levels are potentially harmful to nursing mothers as well.

The species within the oceans that are deemed as potentially harmful to one's health include swordfish, king mackerel, shark and the blue and yellow fin tuna. There are also other varieties that should be avoided. This type of food is still possibly unhealthy when it is purchased in a can, or when it has been processed by manufacturers.

There are a number of ways that one can determine if their finned meal is freshly caught and not spoiled in any manner. A good smell is an indication of freshness. It should have a clean and slightly 'fishy' smell, but the aroma should not be too strong. Some types will smell similar to the beach, or muddy water, depending on from where they are caught.

Feel the skin of the one you want to buy, and make sure that it does not feel overly slippery or slimy. The skin should be taught and firm, and should not leave an impression if you place pressure on it. It should easily spring back to its original form, and not leave a hole. This will indicate if it has been freshly caught or not.

Take a good look at the eyes of the animal, and determine if they are bright and shiny, or sunken. If there has been a loss of moisture due to aging, the eyes may sink. This is obviously a bad sign. The color of the body is important. It should not have any brownish or grayish markings on it, and should be quite bright. If you lift the gills, you should see a bit of red coloring.

Finding information about fresh fish online is very easy. There are even websites that will tell you how to cook different types of vertebrae. If you want less hassles, try catfish, as it has no scales to remove, but avoid pike, as it is bony. Salmon can be consumed for health purposes because of its rich omega-3 content.
