Americans consume about 6.3 billion pounds of seafood each year, making the United States the second largest consumer of seafood in the world after China, according to the U.S. Department of Commerce. Whether enjoyed at home or eaten with family and friends while out, fish is a tasty, healthy protein that can be served in countless ways.

If you want to lose weight in a healthy, sustainable way, it's essential to get adequate levels of protein in your daily diet. For one, consuming healthy protein helps you feel satiated for longer periods of time and reduces your hunger hormones, which can prevent overeating or snacking between meals. Protein also has a higher TEF (thermic effect of food) than fat or carbohydrates, meaning it helps your body burn more calories when you eat it. And on top of that, protein can help you build muscle mass.

From prepared meals to baked goods like fall pies, members can complete their weekly grocery runs at their local warehouse, stocking up their refrigerators and pantries with many items sold in bulk.

Vanilla ice cream can get a bad rap as the least exciting flavor available on the aisle. But that's an unfair assessment considering that a classic taste shouldn't be confused with a bland one. At least, that's what quality producers of vanilla ice cream prove. In truth, if you've been underwhelmed by a scoop of vanilla, it may be because the brand wasn't delivering all that rich floral flavor that a vanilla bean can bring. Sure, you could make excellent vanilla ice cream at home, but I promise there's still quality brands dedicated to producing a classic cup of supreme...

There’s a misconception that Scotch whisky (specifically single-malt) isn’t affordable. And sure, there are plenty of long-aged, limited-release bottles that will set you back the equivalent of a mortgage payment. On the flip side, there are plenty of well-priced, accessible expressions just waiting to be added to your whisky collection. It’s time to dive into what “affordable” means in the Scotch-whisky world. It doesn’t mean cheap, and it doesn’t mean bargain. It does mean that the bottle is reasonably inexpensive. To us, this means expressions that are less than $100.

On Friday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports,” Harris-Walz Campaign Co-Chair Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) stated that she “was one of those that said, I don’t care if” 2024 Democratic presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harris “does an interview at all.” And Harris is “doing the best that she can with the minimal amount of time that she’s got left to get this done.” Host Andrea Mitchell said, “Congresswoman, as a Co-Chair of the campaign, there’s criticism from some that Vice President Harris is not doing enough interviews, that she’s out there campaigning, but she’s not taking part in interviews....

Snacks are a valuable way to keep blood sugars and energy levels steady, whether you have diabetes, prediabetes or are simply being proactive about balancing blood sugars. These between-meal bites can help prevent blood sugar (and energy) crashes during the day. It’s no surprise, however, that certain snacks affect blood sugars differently. That’s where the conversation about added sugar comes in. Sweet snacks are one of the top sources of added sugars in the U.S. diet, and too much of the sweet stuff can contribute to weight gain, type 2 diabetes and heart disease.1 “It’s beneficial to minimize added sugar...

Now, while a distillery owner may feel that opening a restaurant is akin to moving two risky Jenga pieces in a row, plenty of renowned distilleries throughout the U.S. have defied the odds. From businesses located in the middle of Manhattan to smaller operations running in towns with less than 10,000 total residents, the best distilleries with restaurants provide visitors a quality spot to refuel on-site after imbibing — no matter the location.

From the smoky flavors of Texas brisket to the tangy sauces of North Carolina pulled pork, the American landscape is brimming with great barbecue. The rich aroma of succulent meats cooking low and slow over a wood fire is unmistakable and often irresistible, whether you're dining at one of the country's popular barbecue chains or one of the many singular, beloved barbecue spots down South. Well-made barbecue focuses on technique and high-quality ingredients, and it draws upon various regional styles. If you've traveled the country and sampled some of these styles, you'll often find very specific, slow-smoking methods and the...

The Sopranos debuted in 1999 and quickly became appointment TV. David Chase’s most-see crime drama follows New Jersey mob boss Tony Soprano as he runs his illegal enterprise (or, as he calls it, ‘waste management business’) and juggles his family commitments. Now, thanks to video on demand, you no longer have to make an appointment. With all six seasons currently available on Max and Hulu, here are the ten best episodes of The Sopranos to watch right now. Although, to be honest, all 86 episodes are unmissable.

Autumn is prime time for enjoying ales and lagers, and there's no shortage of fall beers waiting to be tapped—be it while watching a football game, reading up on IPA beer history, or raking leaves (we'd also recommend hoisting lager steins at your local Oktoberfest bash). Fall’s cooler weather welcomes a bounty of fall beers. There are plenty of heartier styles suited for taking off the chill and pairing with that bubbling pot of chili. Stouts, porters, and nitro beers are once again fair game, and coolers swell with fleeting releases such as fresh-hopped pale ales and pumpkin everything. We...

The stage is set for what has been referred to as the “Oscars of Spirit Competitions.” Back in April, the San Francisco World Spirits Competition convened for its annual multi-day judging. Since then, we’ve seen a steady rollout of all the Double Gold winners minted during that time. To receive the honor, multiple judges must score an expression 90-or-higher out of 100. There have been hundreds of examples across a dozen spirit categories. But now it’s time to get down to the nitty-gritty. We’ve been waiting patiently for the “Best In Show,” the absolute top title amongst all 2024 spirits...

Hopes were high that the International Wine and Spirits' first-ever Global Judging event of North American whiskey on home soil would unearth some fantastic bottles. Well, it didn’t disappoint. An expert panel sampled almost 500 bottles in Kentucky in early September, and the results were just announced. Over 430 medals were awarded, including 30 golds and four outstanding golds. The judges were wowed, to say the least.

What has 101 suites and villas, views over Bangkok’s Chao Phraya river and costs from $600 per night? Capella Bangkok, 2024′s ‘best’ hotel in the world, according to ’50 Best.’ That’s the collective view of 600 anonymous global voters, comprising travel journalists, hoteliers and seasoned travel specialists, which determined the results of “The World’s 50 Best Hotels,” announced Tuesday in London’s historic Guildhall. The hotel climbed 10 places, up from No. 11 on the 2023 list. It has five dining options, including a one Michelin-starred restaurant by chef Mauro Colagreco, plus a “spa sanctuary” called Auriga, and seven riverside villas...

Blasphemy, I thought. There it was, a prepackaged mojito in a grocery store. This was about a decade ago. Still, I was curious to try it, because a canned cocktail that was actually good? That could be a gateway to converting pedestrian drinkers into cocktail nerds. Sadly, there was no craft in that canned mojito. No love. It confirmed my conviction that quality drinks must be mixed, not mass-produced. Recently, however, I popped open a daiquiri from Tip Top, an Atlanta-based company specializing in classic cocktails served in Lilliputian cans. It was, shockingly, sublime. The simple yet difficult-to-balance daiquiri is...

Whether you prefer a dry martini or a refreshing gin and tonic, your gin of choice defines the cocktail. If you love gin, you know how it can unfold like a story with each sip: Juniper is the main character, while spices, citrus, and other aromatics play the supporting roles.

If you like old pine boxes in dusty attics and want to capture that...

1992 was a wild year. You couldn’t turn on the radio without hearing about Billy Ray Cyrus’ “Achy Breaky Heart”; Wayne’s World was in theaters (though I was more of an Aladdin girlie at the time — I was 8), and restaurateur-actor Frank Pellegrino Sr. had the brilliant idea to package and sell marinara sauce from his family restaurant, Rao’s. Fast-forward 30 years, and Rao’s Homemade Marinara is the undeniable GOAT of retail pasta sauces. As of 2022, Rao’s sales (which include the pasta sauces as well as other retail products, like frozen pizzas and shelf-stable soups) reached $580 million,...
