Image Source: bit.ly/19mxFpw
Seafood has now become a popular cuisine delight for the entire world. Personally I am quite attracted to seafood because they are light and tasty and don’t usually cause any extra fat to accumulate in the body. They are also low in calories and I have quite a liking for foodstuffs that are healthy and delicious. Though, I won’t say that I have completely given up beef, chicken, pork and turkey it’s true that I give oceanic delicacies a first priority if at all I am asked to choose between the two.

For me, it’s none other than seafood and I am quite proud to declare my desires. Whether it is a Sunday meal, a get-together with friends and family members or it’s about celebrating a birthday, I usually make it a point to explore the different kinds of delicacies gifted by the seas. There are too many of them floating across the web and every time I am cooking seafood, it’s a new recipe for me. I love to explore the different flavors rather than sticking to just a few.

These days when I don’t get time to manage the entire cooking part, I just order a seafood dinner online. A lot of seafood sellers are now operating over the internet to please the taste-buds of several seafood lovers like me. From delicious appetizers and seafood cakes to tantalizing main course dinners, these online shops are haven for the foodie.

What will interest you?

Seafood sellers do not only sell main-course meals, they also trade with other foodstuff; like for example, the crunchy appetizers and creamy desserts are widely in demand. They make a seafood dinner meal complete. The Whoopie pies made from chocolate cake and vanilla cream are absolutely yummy. Anyone with a big appetite will love Maine lobster cake sliders. They will melt in your mouth soon after you take a bite. Last time I had ordered for Maine crab cakes and along with that I had also ordered a Maine crab dip. The homemade dip was absolutely mind-blowing and will make a perfect pair for delicious and crunchy crab cakes.

Next month I am thinking of throwing a seafood dinner party for my best friend and guess what I am not going to shoulder any cooking hassles because I have already thought of placing an online order. In fact right now I am in two minds because I don’t know whether I should go for a Black point Maine lobster bake or a Maine lobster tail feast. It’s really hard for me to decide on them.

If you still insist on cooking Maine lobsters on your own then go for a surf and turf lettuce wrap, a luxurious recipe, entailing a generous proportion of filet mignon and fresh meat of a black point Maine lobster. The recipe also accompanies a lot of veggies to cover up for the fatty contents. 

A super saucy lobster meal can’t simply do without the herbed lobster roll. It’s buttery, juicy and delicious and is paired with brioche rolls.

Wine That Savors the Taste of Maine Lobsters


Image Courtesy:http://goo.gl/7QEOa
Are you searching for a beverage that will complement your lobster dinner in precision?  Surprisingly you will find everyone giving wine a first preference. Actually, Maine lobsters don’t seem to do without wine because the duo tends to make the best pair for a plush dinner.

Keeping in mind that the flavor of food has a certain level of impact on a glass of wine, you really have to be careful when you choose the lobster recipe to maintain perfectness. Lobster and wine boast of an inseparable bond; where there is lobster, there is wine and vice versa. 

Wine has this inherent property to exaggerate as well as weaken the true essence of food. Did you know that red wine contains tannin? Tannic wines can’t be paired with lobsters because the latter bears a salty and delicate flavor which tends to diminish with every sip of the former. 

Unlike red wines, white wines tend to gel best with seafood because they are tannin-free. There is simply no doubt in the fact that white wine goes best with Maine lobsters that are deliciously fleshy. 

If your lobster dinner is simple and comprises boiled or steamed crustaceans, you can rely on something as brilliant as the California Chardonnay or even a glass of white burgundy. For a fascinating pair, you can match grilled lobsters with Albarino. 

Knowing well that white wine and lobsters make a superior gourmet couple; you can pour a glass of Oregon Pinot Gris to pair it with Lobster Benedict on a balmy evening. However, the Pinot Grigio may become a weightier option for a main course meal. 

For a lobster dish that is deliciously opulent and contains a generous amount of cream, the California Chardonnay certainly makes a perfect match. Some may like to pair the saucy seafood cuisine with white burgundy lending an acidic flavor to the palate. Personally, the Chassagne Montrachet or the Puligny Montrachet makes a wonderful pair with shellfish dipped in saucy fantasy. 

Lobster seasoned with Asian herbs would need either a glass of sparkling wine or bubbling champagne in wonderful flutes. The champagne is meant to enhance the aromatic profile of the delicacy while sustaining the sweetness of lobster meat. 

For a toastier treat with grilled Maine lobsters in buttery dip, nothing can make a better pair than a Chardonnay. It helps envelop the oceanic flavor to a higher level. To ensure that you wine and dine on the best of lobster cuisines you can check out recipes overthe internet.

Delicious Oceanic Treats For Birthdays



Image Courtesy:http://goo.gl/3PBey
Birthday parties go really well with seafood. These days, people are skipping regular menus and resorting to seafood just to add a flavor to the celebrative mood. Even I believe, to some extent good food has a lot to do with making someone happy; so why not seafood? 

When someone is bored of regular recipes, he/she quickly needs a shift. In fact my son Joshua, had told me to prepare something different this time for his birthday party; after all, we had invited his school friends and he wanted me to prove how well his mother really is, at cooking seafood cuisines. 

I was pretty nervous at first because I was not quite acquainted to seafood recipes; I have hardly prepared them in my own kitchen; but thanks to the online seafood recipes. They were a great help for me. 

While reading about seafood recipes for a birthday party I had chanced upon a preparation on crab meat and Asian herbs. I was quite sure that Joshua and his friends would love to taste the succulent and delicate crab meat enveloped inside a golden omelet. I had to first collect the ingredients which included the following: 

·         Green chilies (de-seeded and halved), 1
·         Crabmeat (cooked), 1 cup
·         Grated ginger, 2 tsp
·         Pea sprouts (trimmed), 1 cup
·         Spring onions (thinly sliced), 6
·         Fish sauce, 1 tsp
·         Soy sauce, 2 tsp
·         Eggs, 3
·         Oyster sauce, 2 tbsp 

Firstly, I took a bowl and then mixed the crab meat with ginger, ½ chili and ½ spring onions. After this, I had set them aside. Then I kept the remaining portion of the chopped chili and placed it inside a bowl. I had also added the remaining part of the spring onion along with the sprouts and then, again I had to set this mixture aside. 

Meanwhile, I had to slightly beat the eggs along with the fish sauce and soy. Next, I took some oil in a skillet and brushed it thoroughly. After the oil got heated, I had to add the eggs and had to gently stir them with a fork (note: I had used the underside of the fork). As the egg got cooked, I had to ensure that it remained soft. After taking out the cooked egg from the skillet I had to pour the crab meat mixture just at the centre of it. Then, I rolled it up and sliced it from the middle. I had also poured some oyster sauce on it and garnished it with sprout mixture. 

After, the Asian crab omelet, I had to prepare mussels with green onions and ginger. Josh had told me that his friends were head over heels for it.  The mussel recipe needed the following ingredients:
  • Medium sized ginger (peeled and finely shredded)
  •   Chinese 5 spice, ½ tsp
  • Sesame oil, 1 tsp
  • Thin slices of a garlic clove
  •  Trimmed and sliced green onions
  • Soy sauce (dark), 2 tbsp
  • Chicken stock, ½ cup
  • Peanut oil, 2 tsp
  • Brown sugar, 1 tbsp
  • Trimmed choy sum, 2 bunches
  •  De-bearded and scrubbed black mussels, 2lb
Firstly I took a wok and placed it on high flame; then I added oil. After this I had added the five spices, garlic and ginger and also ½ green onions into the oil and stirred the ingredients for a minute. Later on, I poured the soy sauce, wine, sugar and chicken stock and brought the mixture to a boil. After this, I added the mussels and covered the wok for about 3-4 minutes. After the mixture got cooked I transferred the entire of it in a bowl. 

After some time, I had to add the peanut oil in the wok and heat it over high flame. Next, I added the choy sum and stirred to fry the same. I also took some shallow bowls where I had placed choy sum and had topped it with cooking liquid and mussels. I had also sprinkled the leftover green onions over the food.
