Seafood Recipes For The Best Range Of Seafood
By Barry J Smallhorn
Seafood recipes are rather popular, especially for people who
like to stock up on proteins and Omega 3 by eating fish. There
is a variety of seafood recipes and they are available online,
magazines, cooking shows and in dedicated seafood cook books.
I like to take my family to a nearby seafood restaurant, where
my favourite chef cooks the best seafood in the known universe.
I have never left his restaurant dissatisfied with his cooking.
Hope he can keep his restaurant open for years to come, so that
I can keep going there.
I have even taken my work colleagues there, especially after
winning a big contract. I have also taken some of my customers
to discuss a contract over a seafood lunch. It seems the fantastic
food, keeps me winning big contracts from my customers.
Healthy Diet Requirements
Most people are concerned with eating a healthy diet these days
and many people are making a review of their options and cutting
down on red meat consumption.
One of the recommended food types is fish, especially oil rich
fish with plenty of Omega fats such as mackerel, herring and sardines.
There are plenty of seafood recipes to review your options and
inspire, as they are very often, quick and easy to prepare.
Encourage Your Children To Eat Fish
It’s a good idea to encourage children to eat fish from an early
age and parents can be cunning in how it is presented! There are
seafood recipes for fish cakes, fish burgers and pizza with fish
toppings. Kids love any sort of cheese and fish dish or fish in
pitta bread.
When having a dinner party, seafood makes an excellent starter.
It refreshes the palette for the main course and some dishes are
quite sophisticated.
Angels On Horseback
Angels on Horseback is a well known dish and has various versions
around the world. The traditional recipe is to use oysters, wrapped
in streaky bacon rashers. These should be grilled and go well
with a mixed green salad.
Many starter dishes involve prawns and Citrus Prawn and Avocado
is a particularly tasty one. Ingredients consist of peeled tiger
prawn tails, lemon juice, lettuce and an avocado.
The avocado should be ripe and chives make a good garnish. The
perfect dressing is sunflower oil, orange juice, white wine vinegar,
salt and black pepper.
Curried Sole
People who like spicy food can still find a kick in seafood recipes.
Curried sole, made with lemon sole fillets is cooked with curry
sauce, onion and lemon rind. The garnish is toasted flaked almonds
with coriander and rice is a good accompaniment.
Cheesy Citrus Cod is a delicious blend of flavors and haddock
can be substituted if preferred. The other ingredients are orange
rind, seasoning and soft cheese.
The sauce is made with crême fraiche, orange juice and
rind, seasoning and chives. If calories are of concern, the soft
cheese can be low fat and the crème fraiche can be half fat. This
dish goes well with creamy, mashed potato and a green vegetable.
Beachcombers Casserole
Casseroles are not just for meat based dishes and they are a
convenient one pot way of preparing seafood recipes such as Beachcombers
Casserole.
This contains red snapper fillets, a popular choice at the best
restaurants these days. The snapper is cooked in a flameproof
casserole dish with dried crushed chilies, onion, cayenne pepper,
garlic, canned tomatoes and cream coconut.
This dish could be served with rice or pasta. It also makes a
tasty filling for a baked potato.
Favourite Seafood Restaurant
There are plenty more seafood recipes. I find the best ones are
from the chef at my favourite seafood restaurant, just a couple
of blocks away from here. I have been a regular customer of this
restaurant, and often at the end of the meal, I like to ask the
chef for the recipe for the meal I have just eaten. Especially
if it was a fantastic meal, as is usually the case.
I can never make the same perfect meal as the chef, even though
I attempt to follow his recipe, I always go to his restaurant
when I really want to enjoy some delicious seafood.
Basic Menu Items Are Always The Same
At the moment I am going through the menu and trying a different
seafood every time, just to try something different. Although
the menu changes every now and then, due to seasonal availability
I have been told, the basic menu items are always the same.
I always find my favourite seafood chef has the best seafood
recipes.
