Stone Crab

Stone crab is super lean and high in protein, with 15g for every 3oz. It also has zero fat and is high in minerals such as magnesium, which is key in supporting heart health.

Blue Crab

Low in calories, blue crab is packed with protein and minerals such as B12, potassium and zinc that support everything from bone health, to your cells and a healthy immune system.

King Crab

This type of crab takes the crown when it comes to supporting brain health and cognition. King crab is high in B12, zinc, copper and selenium, as well as omega-3 fatty acids. It’s also low in fat and high in protein.

Salmon

Salmon is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, a great source of protein and high in vitamin B. Salmon is also known to greatly contribute to heart health and helps with weight management.

Seabass

Like salmon, seabass is also a great source of omega-3 fatty acids and serves as a healthier, low-fat alternative to red or processed meat.

Scallops

Scallops might be small in size, but they have big health benefits. In fact, some experts say that scallops are one of the healthiest foods you can eat. Among their many benefits, scallops are 80% protein and a great source of antioxidants. In some cultures, they’ve even been used to treat conditions like diabetes, indigestion and help protect against cancer.

Trout

Known as a superfood, trout is packed with nutrients, such as B12, vitamin D and omega-3 fatty acids. One serving of trout also provides about one third of your daily protein intake.

Oysters

Like scallops, oysters are also considered a superfood. Full of minerals such as vitamin D, copper, zinc, manganese and calcium, oysters are known to support bone health, especially for women at risk of osteoporosis.

Eating Well with Other Menu Favorites

Everyone has different tastes, so for guests who prefer beef over seafood, Truluck’s only uses beef that is hormone-, antibiotic- and steroid-free.

Additionally, of Truluck’s 53 menu items, 50% of the menu can be made gluten-free by removing one ingredient—with no impact to the dish’s overall taste.

And how about the delicious sauces and drizzles? Chef Samir suggests ordering sauces and dressings on the side to avoid extra calories.
