🐟 Seafood doesn’t have a long shelf life, so it’s crucial to handle it properly to prevent spoilage and reduce #FoodWaste.
⚠️ And remember: just like chicken, don’t rinse #seafood before cooking. It can spread bacteria around your kitchen.

✅ Both wild & farmed fish are nutritious!
Nutrient levels depend more on the species, and there are no substantial differences whether they're wild or farmed.
Wild fish are often leaner, while farmed fish can match or exceed omega-3s with steady quality.
