Seafood of the Month - Plaice
Wed 6th June 2018
Plaice is our seafood of the month for June! It’s a fish that is easily identified by its orange spots, which also give an indication of the freshness (the brighter the spots, the fresher the plaice).
- A plaice’s flavour is as pronounced as sole but it takes sauces and other flavours really well so makes a super tasty meal.
- Plaice falls into our top ten for omega 3? It has 750g of this healthy oil contained in it if you have it baked and breaded!
- Plaice is low in fat, making it a healthier, low-fat alternative to red or processed meat, which tends to be higher in fat, especially saturated fat.
- Plaice can be eaten as many times as you like during pregnancy and there are no restrictions regarding the number of portions.
