Fish and seafood are sources of protein, omega-3 fats, and other nutrients important for child growth and development. Because of this, the Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends eating seafood at least twice a week. In this webinar, we will hear success stories from school meal programs serving fish on their menus. Join our guest presenters Chef Michael J. Flynn and Chef Richie Wilim to learn more about their processes from purchasing to preparation and service. We will also introduce resources to help you get started, including recipes and instructional videos.
