You know you should be eating more seafood, since some types of fish have high amounts of omega-3 fatty acids that help reduce your risk of heart disease and stroke. Most Americans, however, fall short of the recommended two servings per week. But with these seafood recipes, it’s easier (and tastier!) than ever to get in a serving any night of the week — whether you’re featuring frozen seafood, canned fish, or fresh fillets from the fishmonger.

You don’t have to be pescetarian or observing Lent to enjoy the tasty “meats” of the sea. From salmon burgers to white wine mussels to a fish chowder bake, these recipes just how delicious and versatile things like salmon, shrimp, clams, tuna, and tilapia can be. So get inspired by these recipes and experiment with cooking both frozen and fresh fish at home. After all, there’s a whole world ocean out there.
