Is Frozen Shrimp Healthy?
Pescatarian diet recipes are at the core of Cooking in the Keys. We are your go-to source for healthy, flavorful meals featuring fresh, local fish and seafood from the Florida Keys.
When you have all kinds of fresh fish swimming around outside and there is no grassy pasture nearby, why wouldn't we eat more fish?

What is a Pescatarian Diet?
A pescatarian diet is mostly plant-based but includes fish and seafood. This means you’ll eat plenty of vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and legumes while getting your protein from fish like snapper, tuna, and shrimp.
Some pescatarians also eat dairy and eggs, but that depends on personal preference. The main thing is that they avoid red meat, pork, and poultry while still getting the benefits of seafood.
Is Florida Keys Fish Sustainable?
Yes, many fish in the Florida Keys are sustainably caught because local fisheries follow strict rules to prevent overfishing.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission closely manages the waters in Florida to prevent overfishing of native species.
From sautéed shrimp with coconut aminos to baked mahi mahi and stone crab claws with mustard sauce, Cooking in The Keys is filled with nutritious options.
Snapper Recipes
Snapper Recipes are a favorite at Cooking in the Keys. This mild, flaky fish works in many dishes.
From baked grouper with key lime butter sauce to baked whole snapper, the recipes are simple and fresh. Snapper pairs well with citrus, herbs, and light sauces.
Snapper is thin so it cooks quickly, making it perfect for busy weeknights. You can cook it as fillets or the whole fish.
Although most of my snapper recipes are made using yellowtail, which is always easy to get, you can use red snapper, mango snapper, hogfish, or whatever thin white fish fillets you have.
