The Mediterranean diet was named the number one diet in 2021 by the US News and World Report’s annual ranking, making it the number one diet for the fourth year in a row!
The Mediterranean diet isn’t set to specific foods, instead it supports eating foods rich across the European culture which can differ from Italy, Greece, Spain, and more. It’s a diet high in produce, healthy fats, fish and poultry. The basis of the plentiful food choices includes eating fruits, vegetables, whole grains, beans, nuts, olive oil, herbs and spices, fish and seafood, poultry, and eggs. Cheese and yogurt are also acceptable in moderation, whereas sweets and red meats should only be indulged in during special occasions. The diet also includes adding in a glass of wine with dinner if desired.
The benefit of the Mediterranean diet is that it is structured to allow you the freedom to build the meals you want. With moderate exercise, it may also help you to lose weight which may help to reduce your risk for diabetes and heart disease.

How to Thaw Shrimp
Shrimp is an easy protein to keep on hand in your freezer, which means it’s not always thawed when you need it! If you know you’re making a delicious shrimp dinner in advance, simply place your cooked, frozen shrimp in the refrigerator the day before and let it gradually thaw.
What if you’re making dinner in just a few hours, and you forgot to get your shrimp out of the freezer yesterday? Well, we’ve got a quick thawing hack for you! Simply remove the shrimp from their packaging and place them in a large bowl. Fill the bowl with cold water until the shrimp is fully submerged and let the shrimp soak for about 20 minutes or until fully thawed. Pat the shrimp to dry, and you’re ready to make dinner!
Pescanova Launches Cape Hake in the US Market
During a time of logistical challenges and supply shortages, Cape Hake is set to be the unsung hero. Pescanova has been fishing Cape Hake since the 1960s and currently has the largest Cape Hake processing facility in Africa. Our Cape Hake is caught off the coast in the cold waters of Namibia. Our three, new state-of-the-art fishing vessels and processing facilities preserve the quality of the fish by freezing it at very low temperatures of -20°C to -30°C. We carefully cut and pack fillets and consistently sized portions that are restaurant ready. Cape Hake is a white-flesh fish with a soft, flaky texture similar to its well-known Alaskan Pollock and Cod cousins. Its mild, subtly sweet taste easily compliments any sauce, aromatic, or topping it’s cooked and served with. Cape Hake is an excellent choice to add versatility to any seafood menu as the center piece in a fish n’ chips entrée or simply prepared with lemon and herbs as the catch of the day.
