100% Meat-Free
As there is not a huge variety of pescatarian meal delivery options on the market at this stage, ensure that the menu or recipe you are choosing does not contain meat throughout the meal despite it being a fish-friendly option.
If the meal says it is pescatarian this will eliminate the need for this step.
Seafood Quality and Source of Origin
Knowing where your seafood is sourced, and its quality is important. Just because it’s from Australia doesn’t automatically make it the best choice, although that is encouraged.
For more information on choosing sustainable and high-quality seafood you can read on goodfish on the guides around sustainable food choices and restaurant guides.
Price
Seafood tends to be more expensive than cuts of meat or poultry options.
As food in meal services are prepared in bulk these preparation standards generally allow for cheaper retail costs, shop around and make sure you aren’t getting the higher end of the deal.
Nutritional Value
Pescatarian diets don’t always equate to healthy.
Pescatarian is more of a lifestyle choice than a diet, with any tokenised ‘diet’ or way of eating this doesn’t automatically equate to healthy eating or often associated with weight loss. If you are after weight loss specific meals you need to ensure these meals match your energy requirements and health specifics.
Always check the ingredients and nutritional panels for more details or with a trusted health professional.
