Saturated fat is linked to an increased risk of developing heart diease; at Cardigan Lobster Suppers we take care to limit saturated fats in our receipes. We use low fat dairy products, no animal fats or processed fat products. We also use monounsaturated oils in cooking(olive rape seed) which help to lower blood cholesteral, and polyunsaturated fats in fries which is known to provide protection against heart disease.

We use only lean cuts of meat, frilled rather than fried. Fish, of course, is known to be a heart friendly food. Some cooking methods are much healthier than others; steaming and cooking in water are the healthiest methods of cooking. All our fish is steamed, broiled or cooked in water, rather than oil.

Our Vegtables are cooked for as short a time as possible to retain their vitamins, crunchiness and bite. Our homemade Island recipes provide an important source of dietary fibre and vitamins in your meal.

Enjoy healthy eating at Cardigan Lobster Suppers!
