Why Eating Seafood is a Smart Choice – Even When it’s Fish and Chips!
At Pier Point Bar & Restaurant, we’re passionate about serving up the finest dishes made with the best quality ingredients, and that includes the beloved British classic—fish and chips. But did you know that enjoying seafood, even in its most comforting form, offers a wealth of health benefits? Let’s dive into why adding more seafood to your diet, especially when it’s as delicious as our award-winning fish and chips, can be one of the best choices you make for both your taste buds and your body.
The Nutritional Power of Seafood
Seafood is one of the best sources of essential nutrients, including omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals that your body needs to thrive. These nutrients can help to boost heart health, support brain function, and even improve mood. Here’s why:
- Omega-3 Fatty Acids: These healthy fats are found in abundance in oily fish like salmon, mackerel, and even the cod, hake and haddock used in our fish and chips. Omega-3s are known to reduce inflammation, lower blood pressure, and keep your heart in good working order. Regularly eating seafood is an excellent way to get these essential nutrients that your body can’t produce on its own.
- Vitamins & Minerals: Seafood is packed with important vitamins such as Vitamin D, which supports bone health, and Vitamin B12, which keeps your nervous system functioning properly. Fish is also rich in minerals like iodine and selenium, both of which contribute to a healthy metabolism.
- Lean Protein: Fish is a fantastic source of lean protein, making it a great option for those looking to stay energised and full throughout the day without consuming too many calories.
But What About Fish and Chips?
We know that fish and chips might not seem like the healthiest choice at first glance, but at Pier Point, we believe that quality ingredients make all the difference. By using sustainably sourced MSC-certified fish and cooking it in a light, crisp batter, we ensure that you’re getting all the health benefits of fresh fish with a tasty, golden crunch. Our fish and chips are gluten-free upon request, catering to all dietary needs.
Plus, by pairing your fish with a side of our homemade mushy peas (packed with fibre and vitamins) and enjoying a portion of our hand-cut chips cooked in heart-healthy oils, you’re still making a balanced choice.
Why Quality Ingredients Matter
At Pier Point, we’re committed to using the best quality ingredients in everything we make. This means we source the best MSC fish available and we invest in premium cooking techniques that highlight the natural flavour of our seafood. Using high-quality ingredients isn’t just about making the food taste amazing; it’s about ensuring you’re eating something that’s good for you, too.
We’re proud of our reputation for excellence, and we believe that our dedication to quality is what sets us apart. Whether you’re dining on our lighter seafood dishes or indulging in our famous fish and chips, you can be confident that you’re getting the best.
Health Benefits Beyond the Plate
Eating more seafood is about more than just the nutrients. Studies have shown that regular consumption of seafood can improve brain function, help with weight management, and even boost your mental health. It’s the kind of food that leaves you feeling good inside and out. And what better way to enjoy it than by the sea, at Pier Point, where we serve seafood fresh from the water to your plate?
