I'm excited to share with you today more than 65 of the best, healthy seafood aecipes from some of my favorite real food bloggers!
My husband is a fisherman, and I love seafood.
Coincidence? Maybe.
A perk? Definitely!
At least I won't complain about having easy access to the freshest of seafood that doesn't come from a fish farm.
Yet, despite the fact that I make some sort of fish or seafood several times each week, I haven't gotten around to posting a lot of healthy seafood recipes on my blog as of yet. It is something that I have planned, of course, but meanwhile, I have a special treat for you: I have compiled together some great healthy seafood recipes from some of my favorite real-food-bloggers that have been kind enough to share them with me for this seafood roundup.
Hopefully there is something here for everybody. There are soups, salads, appetizers, and main dishes using everything from fish and shrimp, to clams and octopus. Many are suitable for paleo and GAPS diets, and most are gluten free
Luckily, my toddler (the cute little “captain” above) shares our love of seafood, and has always preferred fish to other harder-to-eat meats, so we have been lucky and haven't had to alter the way we cook our seafood to make it more “kid friendly.” That said, there are healthy seafood recipes here that would very likely appeal to even the pickiest of small eaters!

HI Tracy, thanks for the information. How to cured anchovies is so invaluable to me, since I couldn’t find it in my area–uncommon such a type. Now I think I can make it on my own, as well as, the cured olives; though it’s not grown here in my area, at least I know now how to cured olives as well– one of my fave. Thanks and best wishes.
Hi Hartawan,
Thanks so much for your comment.
I hope you are successful in finding and making them. I love both of them too!
Thank you for all of these great recipes! I live in Spain as well, but I’m seriously jealous of your direct access to all things fishy. It’s so important to know where food comes from.
Hi Heather!
I love hearing from others who now live in Spain, too.
Yes, it’s tricky to find good quality food sources here. I try to avoid meats that have been given feed with GMOs, but it’s difficult because even at the market, they seem to know nothing about the foods they are selling. My fish and my eggs (I have my own hens), are the only things I trust knowing where they’ve come from. 🙂
I’m thinking about starting to buy organic meats online, but I haven’t tried it yet.
Awesome roundup! Thank you for including my salmon recipe!
You’re welcome. Thanks for letting me use it!
Oh wow. That is one amazing list! I’m gonna need to try quite a few of these…. Thanks for sharing some of my recipes, as well. 🙂
Thank you! Your recipes look great!! 🙂
