Fried Seafood IS Smmertime

Actually, Any Time!

Summer is not just about BBQ. It’s all about seafood. We’ve been tricked into thinking that the summer menu has only hot dogs and hamburgers! Let’s bust the myth, for there are many ways to spice up your summertime eating with delicious and easy seafood recipes.

Let’s go for something that offers easy transition from fast food to seafood: lobster burgers. These fall somewhere between burgers and BLTs. Use tail and claw meat passionately, and enjoy this elite seafood item in a packaging that suits the common man!

Here’s another creative tip, one that brings in the BBQ element: shrimp skewers.
Shrimp skewers are arguably the most quintessential BBQ item that comes from the sea, and it’s definitely a popular summer menu item.

But wait, we forgot appetizers. No worries, for we always have grilled scallops on the half shell. You don’t need to have guests come over, but in case they’ve shown up, the half shells make for a beautiful presentation. You can also top your scallops with garlic butter and sundried tomatoes.

If you love to try new things, now is the time for ceviche. Loved across the Caribbean and Latin America, ceviche is now becoming popular here. It’s basically fresh, raw fish cooked in lemon, lime or other citrus juices, and then spiced with peppers. You can experiment further by using vegetables like onions and peppers, or even tropical fruits like kiwi or mango. Ceviche tastes even better when you eat it atop tortilla chips.

Last but not the least, you can go for grilled fish wrap, and there are a thousand ways to prepare it. We recommend Mahi and Grouper, and you can add Thesoy, Cajun spices, and tempura. Enjoy!
