Fit Friday - Gorton's


I'm back with another review and giveaway with Gorton's Seafood!  I absolutely love these guys.  Their products have only gotten better over the years (I remember eating Gorton's fish sticks when I was a kid), and this year they have an awesome campaign that they are doing.  It's called Real Fabulous.





Real Fabulous means making food that makes me feel the best I can about myself.  Healthy food that will taste good and that I can enjoy, while helping me feel better all the way around.  And seafood is a perfect way to do that.  Gorton's has a line of grilled fish that makes it easy to prepare healthy food for your family.  For my review, I opted to prepare a recipe that was shared with me through Gorton's - Grilled Fillet Pear Salad.








The salad was amazing.  I had my doubts about the fish in the combination, but it was such a lovely addition. The warm fish, in a garlic sauce, was a great way to tone down the sweetness of the fruit.  The fish did not dry out, it didn't have an overbearing fishy taste, and the texture was like you took a fresh piece of fish from the butcher.  Definitely a great way to start the new year off right and "Real Fabulous!"









To get you started out on your own fabulous year, Gorton's is sponsoring my first giveaway of the year.  And while you're at it, make sure you visit their website to download coupons and recipes to help you in making some awesome, simple seafood.  They are also having a Real Fabulous Sweepstakes.  But in the meantime, enter the giveaway here to get you started, and then grab their recipe for Grilled Fillet Pear Salad below.
