My Tips For Preparing Seafood

My family has a humorous old saying: whenever you are in doubt about how to serve a particular food – top it with butter. It’s sort of a catch-all phrase similar to the popular ‘Just duct it! It was referring to the imaginative uses of duct tape.

Butter makes everything taste better, but don’t try it on a burned fish dish of any kind. For all my seafood recipes that I invent myself or the ones I modify that are already out there, seem to always start with butter. And if they don’t start with it, they surely end with it. You cannot go wrong combining any seafood with butter and ultimately dill.

You’ll turn out food like a pro-chef, using any seafood recipe if you have butter, dill, and cheese at hand. And with these three ingredients you will be able to make up many recipes of your own. The ingredients used while making the sauces create many flavors that pop!

Never be afraid to experiment with seafood recipes: Not just shrimp or scampi recipes – try other types of seafood also. Many people throw out recipes they would like to try because of the availability of one species or another.

For example, you might encounter a delicious seafood recipe that calls for flounder, which is not only costly but difficult to locate in some instances. Now I am not deigning to offer that there is a substitution for red snapper that is going to match the consistency and flavor of said fish, however, it doesn’t mean you need to throw out a recipe nor a culinary adventure either. Keep those seafood recipes even if you cannot find the species in your local market, because you can substitute most other seafood with another the recipe requires.

I’ve tried it. It is even better than grilled scallops – which used to be my favorite. A great mix to try is seafood and fruits. Something which the majority of those in the family, and particularly the children, apparently enjoy. Using orange sauce or cranberry sauce or even raspberry or strawberry sauce simply ladled over a steamed piece of fish is not only extremely easy, but it can make even ‘boring’ cod look like it’s dressed up and ready to go to the casino.
