Demystifying the popular myths around seafood, Mr. Sangram Sawant, CEO & Founder of Pescafresh commented “We seldom come across various myths with regards to consumption of fish. One of them being that seafood that comes from salt-water is naturally high in sodium. But the fact is that sodium levels vary widely in seafood. However, seafood that comes from the salty sea isn’t necessarily higher in sodium than fish caught in fresh water. Another most heard of myth is that not to consume milk after having fish. But the fact is that there is no scientific reason why you cannot have milk and fish together. In fact, there are many wonderful and healthy recipes around which combine the goodness of fish and milk”
