I think I'd like it as much as tuna if it was fresh and not frozen (some bites were really good and others kinda, well, fishy), but where we live fresh isn't going to happen :) @ Adfecto – Pacific Salmon is much better than flounder.

My wife has been considering adding fish to our diet for the potential health benefits but neither of us are fish eaters. I'll eat it when I go to the beach but it is normally heavily spiced (creole or blackened) or sauced with Alfredo or other unhealthy stuff. We already spend $100/week for groceries so it may even lower our bills by reducing our preprocessed, frozen meals. Any advice you can give would be great. Thanks.

I can see hoe that would increase your budget since you can't really shop around sales. I don't know if you have Costco around you, I found frozen mahi mahi there for $4.99/lb, not too bad I think. One positive thing about this meal plan I assume is that it probably sets portion sizes as well, or not? So he has set meals every week?

Healthy is good, but I can barely muster three "cooking" meals a week for myself, sheesh! You are a better woman than I!

I don't think we've bought it since we were married. Frozen might be cheaper, but if we don't HAVE to eat it then we might as well not go with the second best and go with chicken or beans. Good luck!

I'm hoping it will give me more scope to bulk buy products. I'm also willing to try anything to reduce the costs.
