Tilapia & Mushrooms (Seafood Month)

Celebrating National Seafood Month can be fun with the family and with friends. You can make a seafood meal ahead of time by getting all the ingredients and setting up the dinner table. As well as having everyone together to eat at the same time. Additionally, you can decorate your dinner table with seasonal decorations with an ocean theme. Nonetheless, National Seafood Month can be celebrated by preparing and cooking meals at home with vegetables that they like to eat. 

During National Seafood Month, select sustainable seafood and have seafood twice a week. Another way is by having seafood at the weekends, especially if everyone in the family is busy during the week. Have a checklist of seafood items that you purchase during the month and use seafood leftovers the next day. Organize your leftovers with separate containers and labeling the seafood items. Nevertheless, changing your seafood meals and adding delicious flavors can make you enjoy eating it. 

For example, you can make tilapia dinners for National Seafood Month. However, you can select any type of sustainable fish for your meals. In the example, tilapia was made with bell peppers, onions, and with mushrooms. Then, add potatoes and a salad as side dishes. Here is the recipe for making tilapia with mushrooms.
