Birds Eye Smart Choice Crumbed Fish Fillets
This product contains 40% less fat than Birds Eye’s regular crumbed fish fillets, making them significantly lower in kilojoules. They have a high content of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids with the addition of HiDHA® Tuna fish oil. Each serving (2 fillets) provides 800mg of omega-3, which is equivalent to taking approximately 2 to 3 average fish oil capsules. As this product is crumbed, the carbohydrate content is relatively high. People who are attempting to lose weight or have diabetes may do well serving this fish with steamed or stir-fried vegetables or salad alone. These fish fillets are perfect for busy people, tasting great and only take 20 minutes to grill or bake.
Serving size = 130g (2 fillets)

Birds Eye Atlantic Salmon Fillets
Succulent salmon fillets are now available frozen in packs of 2. The price may initially shock you ($8.99 per pack), however, this is comparable to the cost of fresh salmon. Salmon is one of the richest sources of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, however, this information is not available on the packaging. Birds Eye would do well marketing this product similarly to the new Smart Choice fish fillets, as people are becoming more aware of the many health benefits of omega-3 fats. Although the total fat provided by each serve appears high, the energy content is appropriate for a main meal. As this product is not crumbed or battered, the carbohydrate content is negligible. Very little time and effort is required to prepare these salmon fillets. The fish has a superb texture and flavour, although a little salty.
Serving size = 135g (1 fillet)

Sealord Grill Bakes Fish Fillets
These fish fillets are ideal for those watching their weight being 97% fat free, with no significant carbohydrate and low in energy.
The omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid content is low in this non-oily fish in comparison to salmon or Bird’s Eye Smart Choice fish with added omega-3 fatty acids. This information is not available on the packaging. Sealord Grill Bakes taste great glazed with either lemon or Mediterranean seasoning and can be quickly grilled or baked.
