Health Benefits

Naturally low in fat, cholesterol and calories, Alaska Surimi Seafood is an excellent source of high-quality protein, and a source of omega-3 fatty acids. Exact nutritional specifications may vary, depending on the form or brand purchased.

Studies show you can enjoy the many benefits of omega-3 fatty acids simply by eating seafood twice a week.

  • In 2002, the American Heart Association strengthened its recommendation on omega-3 fatty acids, urging people to eat fish twice a week. The Association emphasized the importance of consuming fatty fish, as seafood is the richest source of beneficial long-chain omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids.
  • In January 2005, the U.S. Government released revised Dietary Guidelines for Americans and also recommended two servings of fish per week. People who eat seafood regularly have a significantly lower risk of heart disease and sudden cardiac death, which kills about 250,000 Americans yearly.
