COOKING WITH CAMBAY TIGER: Cambay Tiger’s Fabulous new ‘Fitness Packs'

By Raul Dias

I’m one of those people who loves to eat fish. But I’m also one of those who want nothing to do with the whole ensuing drama it takes to get a nice piece of the sea’s bounty onto our plates. I mean, I can never see myself trooping down to the nearest fish market, haggling over the price of the day’s catch with a garrulous fish monger, leave alone scaling, gutting and filleting aforementioned fish!
So, I was elated to say the very least when the nice people at West Coast Fine Foods (India) Pvt. Ltd.—the manufacturers of the very cool Cambay Tiger range of pre-packed frozen, fresh and even live(!!) seafood—got in touch with me to associate with them on their amazing range of products for a series of weekend projects that you’ll be soon seeing more of here at raulontheprowl and on my other social media outlets. What I’ll be doing is not only telling you all about what I think of their products, but also providing you with simple, easy to follow recipes that I’ve developed using Cambay Tiger Seafood Mart’s bouquet of seafood products.
So, for this weekend, I’ve decided to get with the fitness aspect of eating fish and talk to you about the superbly conceptualised Cambay Tiger Fitness Packs:
Now, we all must be aware, fish, rich in Omega 3 fatty acids, has become the new age medicine. Nutritionists suggest that consumption of fish in optimum amounts on a regular basis could help in curing a particular ailment, enhance one’s complexion and yes, aid in weight loss. Fish such as salmon, seer, tilapia and seabass have been proved good for your heart; Indian salmon is also good for your eyes; red snapper is good for skin; tilapia is good for the heart, muscles, brain and bones, while tuna is perfect for those seeking to aid in weight loss and to enhance the immune system.
Taking this knowledge to a new level. Cambay Tiger Seafood Mart—the country’s leading fish retailer has come up with special health and beauty fish packages called the Cambay Tiger Fitness Packs. These packages have been recommended by nutritionists after detailed research and include…

·         Red snapper and Indian salmon (each twice a week) for beauty enhancement. 

·         Red snapper and surmai (each twice a week) for weight loss 

·         Tuna (thrice a week) for muscle building

·         Tilapia (thrice a week) for bone health

·         Indian salmon (thrice a week) for general fitness 

·         Sea bass and surmai (each twice a week) for cholesterol management

·         Indian salmon and tuna (each twice a week) for eye care

A few key facts about the various kinds of fish and their benefits:

·         Protein found in salmon is easily digestible and omega-3 fatty acids helps lowering cholesterol. It also protects us against kidney cancer.

·         Tuna fish has very high levels of omega-3 fatty acids, which help to reduce omega-6 fatty acids and cholesterol in the arteries and blood vessels.

·         Seer fish contains heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids, which lower triglyceride levels as well as help reduce inflammation throughout the body and support brain health.

·         Sea Bass is an excellent source of protein, selenium, vitamins and essential omega-3 fatty acids. It helps produce antioxidants and to synthesize thyroid hormones.

·         Tilapia help reduce weight, boost overall metabolism, build strong bones, reduce the risk of various chronic diseases, lower triglyceride levels, prevent arthritis, protect against cognitive decline.

·         Red snapper is a low-calorie, lean source of protein that is rich in selenium, vitamin A, potassium and omega-3 fatty acids.

The packages are delivered at your doorstep free of charge (call +91-7071707170 or log on to www.cambaytiger.com) and come pre-marinated in three yummy falvours—chilli basil, spring onion and herbs and my personal favourite lemon pepper! Believe me, I’ve tried them all and they are the perfect packages where all you need to do to get your diet right, is to rip open a pack and grill the fish for 3-4 minutes and serve with a healthy selection of accompaniments (see recipe below).

The packages can also be subscribed at the Bandra (in pic above) and Lokhandwala, Mumbai stores of Cambay Tiger Seafood Mart.
