Lobster Tacos
By Samantha Hemingway
Lobster tacos are a delicious dish that provide a surprising amount of nutritional value. Many studies suggest that consuming more fish and shellfish decreases the risk of obesity, diabetes, and heart disease while promoting healthy cholesterol levels.
Fish and shellfish such as lobster are especially important for providing omega-3 fatty acids, which are found in very few foods. A three-ounce portion of wild lobster is estimated to provide 200 to 500 milligrams of omega-3.
Although the fatty acid content in lobster is not the highest among fish and shellfish, it is still a considerable source of these important nutrients. Follow the recipe below to prepare your own lobster tacos and begin experiencing the health benefits yourself.
