Unraveling The Mystery Of Seafood Cooking
Cooking seafood does require some basic skills but once you get the basics seafood is awesome. From beginner to advanced we'll try to give you something you can use today and tomorrow. Seafood as a food source is truly awesome because it's diverse, healthy, tastes great, and is fast & easy to prepare. Let's face it if you can't prepare a meal in 30 minutes or less after a hard day carryout is hard to ignore. Compared to carryout, seafood can be more healthy, faster and cheaper. Not all seafood is pricey, catfish, cod pollack, squid, bay scallops are sensibly priced.
There's always the option of catching your meal. Other ways to keep seafood in you budget is to mix seafood with inexpensive foods. Pasta, vegetables, fruits and grains all shine when combined with small amounts of seafood.
So what's ahead? First, we'll take you through from the raw product whether caught or bought and advise you on selecting, handling, storing, and prepping. Then a general overview of seafood available and ethnic styles of cooking. From there some specifics from appetizer to entree methods and themes with recipes of many types of seafood. Finally, a quick guide to help you prepare seafood items for everyday meals. We want to make seafood a part of your weekly meal plan. Live longer eat seafood!
The many seafoods available are too long to list here so we'll pick some common types that we work with regularly in the Mid-Atlantic region. That's not to say if you're surfing the net from Bora-Bora we can't give you some ideas. Seafood is very diverse yet has a common bond: the water. Fish are fish, crabs are crabs, shrimp are shrimp . . . you get the idea. Yet the bond that makes seafood the same world over also sets each region's apart from the other. The delicate differences between cod, fluke, yellow fin, and shad are the same things that enable us to enjoy Cajun,
Mexican, Mediterranean and Pacific rim versions of mahi--hi mahi--hi. The same... yes! So take your favorite recipe from here and try it on your favorite seafood item there. Use your region's fresh seasonal ingredients to embellish an old favorite! |
