The Seafood Diet -
food over 50

What better place to introduce our "Seafood Diet" episode than by the sea. We certainly do not need to live close to salt water to enjoy fresh fish and shell fish these days. But one thing is certain: as we age, the lean, healthy, tasty, aquatic protein and Omega-3 sources from seafood are very welcome to command a greater portion of our diets. This in turn can lessen our consumption of fatty red meats! David prepares a mixed bag of seafood specialties, starting with a fabulous first course, Crab In A Cradle. Sweetly decadent crab meat is nestled in a ripe avocado half, then dressed with a light and lovely lemon dressing. For the fish course our host revs up one of his many bamboo steamers, slitting and seasoning a whole red snapper with Thai-style aromatics before steaming it to perfection in lemongrass-scented vapor. And for the main course, it's a hearty and appetizing Maritime Stew loaded with delicious and nutritious varieties of fish and shell fish swimming in a lean but luscious broth!

Hosted by David Jackson, FOOD OVER 50 is primarily taped in the scenic Mojave Desert, with cooking segments taking place in the kitchen, and select seafood recipes shot at Jackson's quaint seaside cottage in The Outer Hebrides in Scotland.

The series also provides viewers with their own personal nutritionist.

During each episode, registered dietician Elizabeth Kelsey joins David to critique recipes from a health perspective and emphasize the importance of cooking fresh food.
