The cooking of seafood can intimidate some cooks but if a little care is taken you will find that it is one of the simplest types of produce to use. Fish and other seafood cooks very quickly so great care in timing is needed. We will also discuss the sustainable varieties available and concentrate on some of the lesser known and used species.

Opening oysters is a simple skill that brings great rewards.

We will discuss and illustrate the difference between calamari and squid and also how to check if scallops and other seafood has been soaked to increase weight and enhance appearance to those who might not be familiar with these practices. A snow white scallop looks

good to some, to others they are a rip-off.
