Each Month Different Restaurants and Eateries will be featured highlighting some healthy choices off their menu's!!

Molly's Fish House
958 W Beech St, Long Beach, NY 11561

Salads
Any salad can be topped with one of their cold salads or any cooked fish. I would recommend staying away from the cold salads that may contain mayo and stick with the cooked fish as a topping.
Salad Choices are: Garden Salad, Caesar Salad , Mesculin Salad, Spinach Salad.
A salad is typically a good choice, but be aware that dressings and toppings like cheese and croutons can add fat and calories.
Entree's
Any entree can be grilled, baked, broiled or steamed served with 2 side dishes. You may want to ask for just a dash of Olive Oil in the prep. Add some extra squeezed lemon to make it juicier and more flavorful.
Flounder, Sole, Tilapia, Halibut, Salmon, Tuna - Ahi, Sea Bass, Swordfish, Catfish,Scrod, Sea Scallop, Bay Scallop, Jumbo Shrimp, Catch of the Day.

Steamed Mixed Veggies
Excellent Choices!!!Steamed Broccoli, Steamed Asparagus Steamed String Beans

Side Dishes
Try mustard on the baked potatoe instead of butter or sour cream. Its delish!!

The interesting thing about people's misperceptions of 'going organic' or 'eating heatlhy' is that the food will taste awful or that they're sacrificing great taste for healthier options...such is not the case at all, the above mentioned menu items are just as delicious as the fattier alternatives, and instead of feeling weighed down after a glutonous dinner you feel more energy when you take the healthy route. Just food for thought.
