what kinds of seafoods do you like the best?

I go to the beach to buy the fresh ones from the fishermen returning in their small boats without the freezer.I always buy the fresh ones and not the frozen ones.Incidentally yesterday I bought prawns and fish for home.

I am from the southern part of Tamil nadu India and this is one of the ways of making prawns down here.Please come back to me if you have any doubt in the recipe.Bon apetite. Ingredients : Prawns - 100 gms Onion - 1 thin sliced Tomato - 1/2 turmeric powder - 1 tsp corainder leaves and curry leaves Mustard seed - 1 tsp salt to taste To grind Coconut - 1 1/2 cup Red chillies - 10 Sombu ( Big jeera) - 2 tsp Grind the above well with 1/4 cup of water Preparation : Heat 6 tsp of oil in a pan , add 1 tsp of mustard seeds along with curry leaves. Then add the onions after the mustard seeds splatter, let the oil to fry for about 2- 4 minutes until they are golden brown. Then add the tomatoes and the ground coconut paste. Let the paste cook for about 10 minutes in simmer , add 1 tsp of turmeric powder and salt to taste. Wait till the oil seperates out of the ground masala. Then add the prwans wait until 5 - 6 minutes until the prawns are cooked, do not cook them for a long time. Remove from the stove and add coriander leaves. Note : Do not cook the prawns for too long , they will become very elastic.

hi balasri,thank you for sharing your recipe for cooking shrimps. i will try to follow your recipe to cook shrimps in a short future,but i don't have some of the ingredients you mentioned,anyway i could delete some or use some other ingredients for instead. by the way,you use live shrimps for cooking,or frozen shrimps?

hello, you can saute it with butter and the rest of the ingredients that you have mentioned and you can add veggies to add up flavor. You can try adding broccoli, cauliflower and some carrots. that sounds great. hehehehehhe. drooling again.

now i'm thinking of how to mix the shrimp meat,squid and octopus portions together with garlic,chili and ginger,but how to cook?maybe put some vegs in it will be much more yummy~~~now i am drooling too...

hi neenasatine,seems you are very professional seafood taster,you konw so many special words for seafood.Do you usually cook seafood for your 3 meals?I'm starting to cook by myself after work these days,and i'm plan to cook seafood for my dinner every weekend,i think i should learn more cooking methods from you guys.

hi,fit4lifein07,thank you for your comment.

the most items which are available in chinese supermarkets are very cheap,salmon and trout are not popular here,as they are too expensive,they are imported from other countries,seems they are very popular in your side and they are not so expensive as you said.By the way,do you usually eat seafood from China?Such as white shrimp,crayfish tailmeat,catfish fillets and tilapia?

it seems you are live in a seafood city,you enjoy so many kinds of seafood,shrimps and prawns are popular in almost all of the countries,i just know a very simple cook method for shrimps and prawns,i just put it into boiling water and then prepare some sauces for dipping them.But i saw many pics on internet,there are many colorful items together with shrimps in a dish(i don't know what they are^_^),seems very yummy.For squid,i heard it has too much fat,will make ppl fat,don't know it is true or not. Is there Tilapia in your area?Is it imported from China or somewhere else?We have many Tilapia farms here,and we export a lot of Tilapia to EU and USA every year.I am interested in tilapia fillets,and will try to find a new cook method for it,hehe...

^_^ you are so lovely i believe you are a person who enjoys your life very much,i hope you will be a very rich person and could eat seafoods when you want,hehe...

hi Howard,thank you for your comments. but seems my thanks was too late,hehe...

i usually cook shrimps in boiling water for 3-5 minutes,next time i will try to steam them,maybe you are taling abou the dried shrimps?But usually I eat dried shrimps without cooking ^_^,as they were cooked already before i bought them.I heard many ppl like eating tuna lion,but i never eaten this before,as well as raintrout i just see it from photos,i hope i could taste the baked rainbow trout with lemon-peppter seasoning someday.

the restaurants which provide the live seafood and also have staff who could do the marketing for you must be quite pricey,but you could have them cook seafood anyway you like,that soulds very good,and you could also learn how to cook seafood from them~~~

hi modstar,i also eat drid squid sometimes,as it is also popular in our country,we can buy it from supermarket in retail bags,but i like frozen squid more,as it could be cooked with some veg together and it tastes very good. i never tried dried squid with fried rice together,how is could be?

i will try to cook Pulao when i have time,it sounds very yummy,as i also like eating chili pepper,thanks for sharing your method of how to cook Pulao :)

i also live far from sea,i'm thinking that some day i could fish on the sea by myself,hope this will come true in the short future,then i could eat seafoods with much freshness LOL...

it is so exciting to share your favorite foods with your friends together,i often have dinner together with my friends,but we seldom cook fish,as we don't know how to cook it better,and seems it is not easy to kill a fish and clean it ^_^,ususally how do you have your friends cook fish?And what kinds of fish you like? usually we eat cheaper fish,like yellow croaker and some river fish...

i used to eat australia lobster,it was aired from australia and it is very expensive here,as you said it is sweet and delicious.what dishes you usually make for salmon?it is really very good to eat salmon every week.

yeah,i also like eating crabs,but i'm afraid they will escape before i cook them,they have big claws,usually i don't cook crab by myself,i just eat when someone cooked it for me:),when i eat crabs i will prepare some vinegar for dipping the crab meat.

thank you for your reply ^_^ and happy mylotting

really?it is very fast to cook fish? how do you cook them?I'm also a very lazy guy,i want some good method to cook seafood which is easy,fast but should make the food yummy,thank you ^_^

i never tried fried fish and prown with masala,but i used to eat fried fish with hot chili pepper,it is really yummy.
