Catfish and trout are higher in fat than tilapia. If you use these fish, count an additional Fat Exchange or Choice per serving.
 
When choosing a margarine, look for a non-hydrogenated soft margarine. These are low in saturated fat and do not contain trans fat. Avoid hard margarines, which contain high amounts of saturated and trans fat.
