    When choosing which type of seafood to plan for dinner, we generally chose one of the most commonly available - salmon, shrimp, or maybe scallops. However, there's an ocean of fish and shellfish that are both nutritious and tasty.

    Steamed Garlic Clams

    Clams are particularly rich in iron. In fact, a 3-ounce serving of clams has about 24 milligrams of iron, which is 129% of the daily recommended value.

    Iron is important for both gut health and for women with regular menstrual periods to prevent anemia. Eating seafood, red meat, and egg yolks helps to ensure you're getting enough iron in your diet.

    Due to the lower fat content in clams, cooking them in ghee ensures the meal will contain plenty of healthy fats to keep you satisfied! Pair these clams with a glass of wine (if you choose) and a side salad for a splendid dinner!
