Seafood

When thinking about what to have for dinner, fish is a good choice. Fish is low in saturated fat and can benefit the cardiovascular system when replacing other meat that is higher in saturated fat. Also, omega-3 fatty acids in fish are considered a "good" fat that benefit heart health and is essential in pregnancy and infant development. ChooseMyPlate ( www.choosemyplate.gov ) recommends that twice a week seafood (fish and shellfish) be the main protein food on your plate.  Seafood contains a range of nutrients, including healthful omega-3 fats that can help prevent heart disease, so choose to eat a variety.

Special to The Herald-Mail If you grew up in Maryland, seafood as part of your diet is nothing new. Maryland is for crabs, but there are many other reasons to include seafood in your diet. Fish and seafood contain essential oils that not only provide a flavorful and concentrated source of energy, but also a significant source of essential fatty acids. What does it mean when a nutrient is considered essential?  In simple terms, essential nutrients are those that our bodies cannot produce sufficient quantities of. In order to obtain adequate levels of these nutrients, we must consume food rich sources.

Fish and shellfish are an important part of a healthful diet. Fish and shellfish contain high-quality protein and other essential nutrients, are low in saturated fat, and contain omega-3 fatty acids.   A well-balanced diet that includes a variety of fish and shellfish can contribute to heart health and children's proper growth and development. That means that women and young children in particular should include fish or shellfish in their diets because of the many nutritional benefits.

Although Berkeley County Sheriff's deputies were able to keep one lane of traffic open around the crash scene most of the time, traffic still backed up to some of the Martinsburg exits seven miles away, said Cpl.

During the week, Robert "Bud" Kelley makes his living traveling wide and far as a carpenter, but on weekends he is building a business in Washington County selling crabs out of a truck. While working to help rebuild the Pentagon after 9/11, Kelley got some advice from a friend, Willy Wright, who had been selling seafood part time from a roadside truck in the Washington, D.C., area for more than 20 years. Kelley said Wright showed him how to convert a truck for use as a seafood business.

There's been something of a revolving door at 12 E. Washington St. in downtown Hagerstown, with a series of restaurants coming and going during the past several years. Several of them were distinctive, good-quality establishments that deserved to stay. Happily, Durango Restaurant, which now occupies the space, is one of these. Durango has a Tex-Mex and Spanish menu, with dishes hailing from Spain, Central America and South America. There's plenty of variety, with familiar dishes such as burritos and chimichangas alongside less common fare, such as ceviche and paella.

WAYNESBORO, Pa. - Sweet snack? Salty snack? Have it both ways with Bonnie Baine's Salty Dawgs. Salty Dawgs have evolved from an oatmeal cookie recipe Baine found 30 years ago to a milk chocolate dipped, cashew-filled cookie with salt drizzled across the top. "They remind me of chocolate-covered pretzels, the flavor anyway," said Baine, 59, of Waynesboro. Baine, a fan of sweet snacks, makes the dish for her husband, Melvin "Eddie" Baine, a trucker who likes salty snacks.

Frank Plessinger told the Board of License Commissioners for Washington County that tenant Tina Hayes has failed to sign a lease and pay rent since she opened the Gateway Steak & Seafood Restaurant at 15124 National Pike.

MOUNT AETNA - Years ago, Mexican seafood lasagna resolved dueling dinner requests in the Leitma household. "Seafood lasagna? I mean, you think, 'eew, OK,'" said Pamela Leitma, the peacemaker, the family foodie, the designated chef and the mommy. But it went over so well, Leitma said, that it is now a family favorite.
