FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE PennAg Industries Association 2215 Forest Hills Drive, Suite 39 Harrisburg, PA 17112-1099 April 13, 2011 CONTACT: Jennifer Reed-Harry PennAg Aquaculture Council 717-651-5920 [email protected] FARM RAISED FISH – PERFECT FOR EVERY DIET: Harrisburg, Pa. – Farm raised fish produced in Pennsylvania and throughout the United States is your “green” supper solution. In addition to being nutritious and a good choice for your family, farm raised fish is sustainable and environmentally friendly. Fish is an excellent source of protein that is low in fat. A 3-ounce cooked serving of fish provides about 20 grams of protein, or about one-third of the average daily recommended protein intake. The protein in fish is of the highest quality, containing an abundance of essential amino acids and is easily digestible for people of all ages. More than two-thirds of all seafood consumption in the United States takes place outside the home. Keeping U.S. farm-raised seafood on the supper plate is an important way to a healthy, nutritious diet. Buying locally farmed fish helps to ensure the freshness of the product and reduces the carbon footprint. This local, green connection is ideal for your home and family. The United States is home to many of the strictest environmental and product safety rules and regulations thereby assuring you, the consumer, have made a responsible food choice for your family. This means the consumer should have no fear of mercury levels, antibiotic usage nor the environment in which the fish were raised. Pennsylvania ranks fourth nationally in trout production, thus providing an abundant supply of farm raised fish for you and your family. Having trouble finding a tasty fish recipe?
