It’s National Seafood Month! Celebrate at Ventura Harbor!

In Ventura Harbor delicious fresh seafood is celebrated year-round. But since it’s National Seafood Month, here are the Top 6 ways to celebrate (and reasons why!)

Fish is really, really good for you. It’s low in saturated fat and cholesterol, and packed with omega 3s, lean protein, vitamins A, D, and B, and minerals such as iron, iodine, and zinc. This helps lower the risk of both heart attack and Alzheimer’s Disease. Psst — Fish oil doesn’t compete – so add more Seafood to your diet! Fresh Seafood Fish Markets.
