Boneless Fried Tilapia Tempura #SeafoodRecipesWorldwide

Tilapia is a versatile fish, which is why you need to use deboning technique before you fry the fish. You can also use other techniques as long as you know how. You will need a very sharp knife and some practice to get this right. Just take your time at first. Also, you can use other kinds of fish for making tempura. You can instantly freeze for later use.

Ingredients:

4-6 tilapia fillets
Salt
Vegetable oil for cooking
3/4 cup rice flour or all-purpose flour
1/4 corn starch
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup ice cold sparkling water
1 egg yolk
Sauce for dipping

Procedures:

1. Get your cooking oil up to 360-370 degrees. While the oil is heating, cut the shad fillets into serving pieces and salt lightly. Mix all the dry ingredients for the tempura batter. Turn your oven to the “warm” setting, and place a cookie sheet inside. Place a wire rack on top of the cookie sheet.

2.When the oil it hot, mix the egg yolk and the sparkling water into the dry tempura batter ingredients and stir only until just combined; it’s OK to have a few lumps. Dip some of the tilapia into the batter, making sure the batter gets into the slits you cut into the fish using the honegiri technique or other techniques. Fry the fish until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Make sure the fish does not stick to the bottom of the pot, and use a chopstick to dislodge any pieces that do stick.

3. When each batch is done, transfer it to the wire rack in the oven. When all the fish is done, serve at once with ponzu sauce, soy sauce or any other dipping sauce.

Fish Hopper Seafood and Steaks - How to Pick Out the Best Shrimp #SeafoodRecipesWorldwide

Fish Hopper Seafood and Steaks - How to Pick Out the Best Shrimp

People are often mystified at how they can buy good shrimps and for good reason, as there are tons of varieties for sale. When looking for the best shrimp for dinner, there are three main factors that will help you to choose the best: Fresh or frozen shrimp, what size shrimp you need, and what format the shrimp are sold in. Whether you are confused about the sizing system, if you should be buying fresh versus frozen or how to make sure the quality is top-notch, shopping for shrimp can be a befuddling task.

The first thing to think about when looking for high quality shrimp is the freezing. Unless the shrimp is extremely local, all shrimp has been previously frozen. This means that even the shrimp at the seafood counter is previously frozen"and by law, should state that. You can always ask is this previously frozen if need be. Do not purchase the thawed shrimp from the counter if you are not planning to use the shrimp that night. It is the same as what's in the freezer, only you have less control over its care.

Once you've learned that the secret to buying good shrimp is to find the freezer section, you can pick from what may be a wide variety of sizes. If you have a recipe, it should say what size you need. Shrimp are sized by how many fit in a pound, so you'll often see it specified that you need 21-25 ct (large) or something similar. That means there are 21 to 25 individual shrimp of that size in a pound. If you are grilling or serving the shrimp as a main, you probably want 21-25 or larger (16-20, U16). If you are stir-frying or adding to a soup or pasta dish, you probably want a smaller shrimp (31-35 or 36-40).

If you purchase an all-natural shrimp, it will not contain a preservation agent called sodium tri-polyphosphate, and thus will be about the same size after cooking as it is before. The cheaper the shrimp, often the more "STP" as it's called, is added, so the more the shrimp will shrink in the cooking process. If you want top quality shrimp, check the ingredients and make sure there is no sodium tri-polyphosphate added.

Once you have the proper size of shrimp the next step in figuring out how to buy good shrimp is to decide in what form you need them. Shrimp have heads, tails, veins and shells, and you'll find they are sold with any number of combinations of those on or off, either deveined or not. Most of the shrimp's flavor comes from the shell and the head, so if you can cook them with those both on, you'll get the most delicious shrimp in the store, though you'll have a lot more work to do peeling them later. If you want the easiest shrimp to deal with, look for deveined, peeled, headless shrimp.

Cooked shrimp are another option in the freezer. If the shrimp are cooked, it is most likely without head, vein or shell. These shrimp will have less flavor than if you cook them yourself, but will save you a lot of time and effort. If you don't want to deal with the process of peeling or deveining a shrimp, this is a good way to avoid it.

The last step in purchasing the best shrimp in the store is to take care of it. Keep it completely frozen until 24 hours before you plan to use it, then defrost it slowly by putting it in the refrigerator. If you need to use it quickly, leave it wrapped in plastic and place under cool running water for 15-20 minutes, until defrost.

Ginger and Garlic Steamed Crabs #SeafoodRecipesWorldwide

This is the natural way of cooking crabs that needs few ingredients and dipping sauce. You can choose the sauce that suits your taste.

Ingredients:

2 pounds king or snow crab legs
3 finely chopped shallots
3 chopped garlic cloves
1 inch of finely chopped lemongrass
3 tbsp olive oil
1 cup white wine
2 inches grated or finely chopped fresh ginger
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Salt
2 tbsp finely chopped celery leaves

Procedures:

1) In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until hot, about 2-3 minutes. Add the shallots and lemongrass and cook for 2 minutes, stirring often. Add the garlic and cook for another minute, stirring well.

2) Arrange the king or snow crab legs in a large pot with a steamer insert set inside. Pour enough water into the pot to come up to the bottom of the steamer, but do not let the crab sit in water. Cover and turn the heat on to medium.

3) Add the wine, the grated ginger and a little salt and turn the heat up to high. Boil off the wine by half, about 5 minutes. Turn off the heat, add the lemon juice, one tablespoon of celery leaves (leaves from the top of a bunch of celery you buy in the store), and taste for salt again -- add some if you need it.

4) If the crabs have not already been steaming, turn the heat on the pot to high and steam the crabs for 5 minutes; remember king and snow crab legs are pre-cooked, so you are just heating them up.

5) Pour the sauce into a food processor and blitz it until it becomes a thick puree; it should look a bit like a light green mayo, as everything will emulsify. Or, you can use soy sauce, lemon juice and piece of fresh red chili, for spiciness.

6) Remove the crab meat from the shells with scissors or kitchen shears and set in a bowl.

7) To serve, lay some sauce down on a plate and top with nice leg pieces of the crab. Top with the other tablespoon of celery leaves and serve hot or at room temperature.
