    The Seafood Cookbook - Jan Morgan

    Pie

    INTRODUCTION

    Seafood is simply edible fish and shellfish, such as lobster, shrimp, scallops, mussels, squids, clams and oyster, among others. It is highly nutritious with plenty of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients to keep the body at its best. It is packed with omega-3 oils to help reduce the risk of heart disease and protect against some forms of cancer. Salmon, trout, herring and tuna are all fish that contain high levels of Omega-3 fatty acids. This is considered the good fat that can be really very healthy to your heart. Seafood is also low in saturated fats, one major cause of high blood cholesterol.

    Compared to meat and poultry, seafood is a low calorie food. You only need to consume fewer calories to meet your daily protein requirement. This is why it is usually incorporated in diets designed for weight loss or simply eaten to maintain an ideal weight. It also boosts brainpower, improving memory and concentration. You won’t regret including it in your diet.

    Besides the many health benefits of seafood, here are a few interesting facts you should know:

    To preserve all of the moisture from fish, cook at a low to medium temperature. Do not cook fish at a temperature above 350 degrees. The high heat can lead to a loss of valuable flavor.

    To know if fish is fresh, drop a piece in cold water. If the fish floats, it means it is fresh and has been recently caught. If the fish sinks, it shows that it is not as fresh as desired.

    Thaw fish using milk− it is best that way. Simply place the frozen fish in milk; this will give it great flavor and color.

    To get oysters out of their shell, soak them in club soda for while. This should make it easier.

    Pregnant women should eat seafood sparingly; no more than two times in a week. Fish may contain mercy or bacteria that may be harmful to the unborn child

    In terms of bacteria, tuna and halibut are the safest fish to eat. Sole is also considered safe, generally.

    Fish can counter your sodium intake. Lots of fish consumption has been shown to reduce some negative effects that your body will encounter from consuming plenty of sodium.

    Seafood is delicious and in a class of its own. The following seafood recipes have been carefully compiled for easy and delightful cooking and eating and to leave you healthier, smarter, happier and better looking!
