September 6: Join the Seafood Festival Fun on Hampton Beach Seafood Festival!
Seafood-lovers will find much to enjoy at the Hampton Beach Seafood Festival, where some of the region's finest restaurants serve up an impressive range of ocean-sourced delicacies. And, whether you attend or not, we have some great online food recipes to help you mark the occasion!
Incredibly, seafood has been consumed for around 40,000 years now. The Hampton Beach Seafood Festival is decidedly less historic - it started up in 1988 - but there's still much to admire about the seafood display on show! As well as sampling fresh produce from the sea, you can gain recipe inspiration that stretches far beyond your seafood cookbooks at home.
It's a well-known fact the seafood is rich in protein, but what's less popularized is that it contains omega-3 fatty acids which are known to guard against heart disease and help lower cholesterol. What more could you want from a tasty meat alternative? So if you're looking to buy fresh seafood to make some seafood today, go for these tasty dishes made by our amazing Dishfolio food bloggers!
