Grown-Up Fish Sticks
Looking for a quick dose of omega-3s? Look no further than your pantry! Canned fish, like anchovies or sardines, makes for a quick and uber-nutritious snack. Wary of that unappetizing fishy taste? Look for smoked fish (like lox!), since it tends to remove some of the fishiness. I recently sampled some canned smoked herring from my local grocer:
“Seasoned with cracked pepper”? I really liked the sound of that! Not to mention the whole bit about “sustainably harvested.” Let’s check out the stats…
Three ingredients: fish, salt, and pepper. We have ourselves a winner! I munched a little bit of the herring, and let me tell you: SO tender and flavorful! Such a great snack. I can see wrapping some in lettuce with shredded carrots for crunch and cream cheese for creaminess. These would also be great on some sprouted grain bread. Or you can just eat some plain for a snack, like I did!
Of course, fresh fish is ideal. But if you can find quality canned fish, it’s a wonderful and satisfying snack option in a pinch!
