50 delicious Seafood recipes
Between grilled salmon, shrimp and grits, clam bakes, and so much more, seafood offers limitless opportunities for delicious meals. Unfortunately for all of us fish-and-chips fans, though, it has also developed a reputation for being notoriously difficult to cook.
The fear of cooking fish has become so commonplace, it's been talked about in The New York Times, Eater, and The Ringer, among others. If you're one of the many people daunted by seafood's finicky storage requirements, special cooking tools, and variety of safe internal temperatures to pay attention to, you're not alone. It's all too easy to throw up your hands in defeat and simply head to your nearest restaurant for a plate of coconut shrimp or seared scallops.
But there's no need to wait for your next dinner out to enjoy your favorite seafood dish. Stacker compiled a list of 50 delicious seafood recipes from Allrecipes perfect for any occasion, and easy enough to help most home cooks overcome that fear of fish. Keep reading for fresh ideas on seafood prep, from frying and fishing to poaching, along with inventive ideas for patties, glazes, and breading.
