She encourages consumers to purchase lobster while the price is reasonable.

Salge Blake’s Health Tip of the Day:

“A one pound lobster will serve up only about 3 ounces of meat (perfect portion) for less than 85 calories, only 0.5 grams of fat, and zero grams of heart unhealthy saturated fat. Forget the drawn butter and drizzle fresh squeezed lemon instead… Bon Appetit!”
