HERE ARE A FEW TIPS

          TO GET YOU COOKING SEAFOOD LIKE A PRO...

 

GRILL, BABY, GRILL

Many fish stand up to the heat of a grill, and it can bring out a delicious smoky flavor. Try salmon, snapper, tuna, mahi mahi, swordfish, dogfish, blue catfish, halibut, catfish, scallops, or shrimp.

 

Fish such as sole, tilapia, and flounder may be too delicate for the grill.

GOOD CATCH PRO CHEF TIP:

When grilling fish, make sure that your grates are VERY clean then get your grill nice and hot. Lay your fish flesh side down and don't touch or move it. Give it several minutes to cook. Once you see the flesh pull away from the grill a bit, gently slide your spatula underneath (don't force it - if it doesn't slide under the flesh easily, give it a bit more time).  Flip over and finish cooking.

 

GRILL, POACH, BAKE, BROIL, SMOKE, SAUTEE, STEAM

BARRAMUNDI SALAD WITH SUMMER BERRIES AND TOMATO

QUICK

fish and shellfish can usually be prepared in 15 minutes or less.

HOT & STEAMY

If you’re looking to steam or poach it, try lean fish such as sea bass, cod, flounder, grouper, haddock, halibut, pollock, or monkfish. To broil or bake your seafood, try a medium-fat fish, such as bluefish, catfish, mullet, salmon, whitefish, or swordfish.

GOOD CATCH PRO CHEF TIP:

Wrap a filet of your favorite fish in parchment paper, banana leaves (available in the freezer section) or even foil. Add some seasoning, herbs, oil or butter. Wrap it tight and bake (or toss it on the grill) for about 10 minutes. You will have perfectly poached fish every time!

 

VERSATILITY

seafood works with just about any herb,

spice or flavor profile

EASY PEASY

You can always eat it without having to cook it! Choose a precooked fish that’s frozen (so you just have to warm it up).

 

Or opt for canned seafood - there's a great variety now available: tuna (make sure it's sustainably caught and dolphin friendly), smoked trout, shellfish, sardines, salmon, herring, smelt, bluefish, crab, shrimp.

GOOD CATCH PRO CHEF TIP:

Canned fish is often even higher in Omega 3's than fresh fish. There are now a variety of very good quality canned fish available. Keep a variety on hand to toss into salads, onto toast or into pasta, add to a homemade pizza, or enjoy straight from the can.
