I need to find out a home remendy on how to take seafood odor out of a room. This room is used everyday, that is right everyday for cooking fish and seafood. Is there something that I can use or put out everyday to keep this awful smell down?

Use a a slice of fresh apple in the cooking oil when frying fish. Replace the slice for each batch.

Add a cinnamon stick to the water when you boil shrimp.

Actually, fish and seafood are good to introduce between 8-12 months. Just avoid those that are high in mercury (tile fish, mackerel, sword fish, shark and tuna). Fish and seafood are a good source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids.

Top Four Tips For Storing Fish And Seafood

Top Four Tips For Storing Fish And Seafood

Top Four Tips For Storing Fish And Seafood

One of the first things that you need to remember is that fish and seafood are not really meat. This means that when you are planning to store fish and seafood you should keep certain things in mind.

 

Here are the Top Four Tips For Storing Fish And Seafood.

 

Top Four Tips For Storing Fish And Seafood Tip # 1: Have The Correct Equipment

 

Make sure yo have the correct containers. You should have a larger plastic and then another smaller plastic container. The smaller container should fit inside the larger container. The smaller container should have holes that you punched or drilled into the bottom. You will place your ice and fish in the smaller container. You should have some method to elevate the smaller container so that it does not touch any part of the larger container.

 

Top Four Tips For Storing Fish And Seafood Tip # 2: Make Sure And Place The Fish And Seafood Properly In The Container

Place the fish or seafood in a way that it looks like it is swimming. In the case of fish, with the back fins of the fish facing up. Make sure and have plenty of ice even in the refrigerator. Unlike meat, fish will begin to rot quickly. You should make sure the smaller container is filled with crushed ice. Place the fish in the container with their bellies down.

Top Four Tips For Storing Fish And Seafood Tip # 3: Never Exceed The Proper Storage Time

If you caught the fish yourself, you can store it in this way for a week to 10 days. Fish purchased from a market should only be stored in this manner for a few days. As the ice melts pour off the melted water and add crushed ice. For lean fish you can add an extra day but for oily fish you should reduce the time by a day.

When freezing fish remember that air is your worst enemy. This means that, in order of preference, vacuum sealing, glazing or wrapping the fish tightly are you freezing options. No matter which option you choose you should never freeze the fish longer than 6 months for lean fish and 3 months for oily fish. If you notice a serious decline in quality throw the fish out.

 

Top Four Tips For Storing Fish And Seafood Tip # 4: Thawing

You should NEVER thaw fish in the microwave. Allow the fish to thaw in the refrigerator or in cold water. You should also NEVER allow the fish to thaw at room temperature.

Using these Top Four Tips For Storing Fish And Seafood will help you get the most out of your fish and seafood experiences.

Cooking in the Caribbean

Caribbean cooking introduces all visitors to some truly distinctive flavors through the addition of spices and other ingredients like mangoes, coconut, lime, cassava, papaya, yam, guava, and peppers. Surprisingly, the use of limes in Caribbean cooking among the natives is not all that different from the way it is used in the United States. Lime is one of the most popular ways of marinating fish and a popular dish is Ceviche, which is seafood cooked with the aid of citric juices and seasoned with herbs and onions. Caribbean cooking is not merely delicious it is also unique from one island to another. Each island has developed its own style and technique of cooking food and the food in the Caribbean is as varied as the experience from island to the next.

The Bahamas is known for the conch recipes.

Cuba is famous for black beans and rice.

Jamaica is the home of jerk cooking and seasoning.

Barbados means fried fish and cou cou.

Puerto Rico comes closer to home with chicken and rice.

The French Caribbean is known for its cerole dishes and many similar French cooking methods.

Trinidad is the land of curries.

All Caribbean cooking involves herbs and spices of various types for seasoning. One such ingredient is tamarind that is in many ways similar to Worcestershire sauce in taste because it too has tamarind as one of the major ingredients. In fact, the use of spices in Caribbean cooking is truly diverse and amazing. Nutmeg flavors the desserts in the United States but in the Caribbean, this spice is mixed with other spices that are natively grown on the islands and this makes for a totally different flavor in Caribbean cooking. The jerk cooking of Jamaica gets its flavor from allspice while the island of Cayman has a chocolate cake recipe that includes some spicy peppers.

There are many common forms of spices used in Caribbean cooking but the trick is that though you will recognize flavors as a familiar taste the cooking will be subtle enough to feel unique to your taste buds. Caribbean cooking is full of delectable sauces that are made of sweet fruits like mango, papaya, and orange with spicy hot peppers. Dipping sauces in Caribbean cooking are made from mango, chili peppers, and melon.

In Caribbean cooking, coconut milk is the basis of several stews and sauces.

Last, and by no means the last, is the most favorite ingredient of Caribbean cooking that is used in marinades, desserts, sauces, and soups – rum.

seafood salad recipes?

I love the seafood salad made with the imitation crab meat you can get on buffets such as Golden Corral. Does anyone have a recipe for this? Thanks!

3 pounds imitation crab meat
1 cup chopped green onion
1 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup chopped green pepper
1/2 cup ranch dressing
1/2 cup heavy mayonaise

Separate (by hand) the pieces of crab. Put all ingredients together and mix well. If it sets over night in the refrigerator the ingredients will blend.

This is the orginal recipe from Golden Corral.

where in Edmonton Canada can I buy seafood to make sushi?

Can I use the salmon sold in Superstore. They’re titled fresh but I dont know if they’re fresh enough. Please advice. Thank you

I would try the T&T Supermarket at the West Edmonton Mall or in the Chinatown area downtown around 95-97 th st and 100 th av. You want fresh fish, tuna, snapper, sole, octopus, squid and shrimp, salmon is fine but not the best for sushi, others like yellowfin are available in Asian fish or grocery’s, I used to live in Edmonton for 2 years in the 1980′s when I worked at the Chefs Table at 156th st and 111th av
