The Most Popular Types of Seafood to Eat

Fish is an incredibly versatile and tasty kind of food. There's no denying the unique flavor that fresh seafood brings to the table, which is why there are so many amazing dishes to try out there. Here are some of the most popular kinds of seafood that people enjoy around the world:

Salmon Smoked or Grilled to Perfection

Fresh salmon features vibrant pink, flaky flesh, and a strong fishy flavor. It goes great with spices, marinades, and other flavors. This rich fish is usually the star of the meal and can be paired with a variety of sides. Most commonly salmon is smoked, baked, or grilled. For a savory meal starter, try our Smoked Salmon Crostini featuring smoked salmon served on slices of toasted baguette with whipped herb goat cheese and tomato jam. As the main course, salmon goes well on a ciabatta bun with jalapeno remoulade or served over salad. Whichever dish you prefer, salmon has some amazing health benefits. It’s rich in omega-3 fatty acids and is an excellent source of protein, so love it all you want!

Soft and Sweet Crab Meat

Crab meat is certainly something to be savored - its sweet, soft texture and delicate flavor make it a great addition to many dishes from around the world. A true delight for seafood and crab lovers, one of our favorite ways to eat crab involves turning it into delectable crab cakes. This tasty appetizer typically includes breadcrumbs combined with seasonings, parsley for fresh and vibrant flavor, and most importantly, succulent chunks of fresh crab meat. You can also enjoy more simple steamed crab legs dipped in a butter sauce. Some of the tastiest varieties of crab include soft-shell, snow, and blue crabs.

Oysters Raw or Dressed Up

These popular shellfish are often served fresh from the sea, shucked open, and served cold on the half-shell. They can also be added to dishes such as pasta, salads, and soups where they provide an unexpected pop of flavor. Regardless of how you eat them, oysters are a culinary delight. The briny taste, creamy texture, and a hint of sweetness are just some of the reasons why these shellfish have been a source of sustenance and enjoyment for centuries. While some prefer oysters simple and raw, we also prepare them grilled with andouille, parmesan, and tabasco for new and exciting flavors.

Shrimp As a Savory Addition to Classics

Shrimp is a versatile, delicious seafood option great for any meal. Even those who don't normally eat seafood often find themselves gravitating toward these flavorful little crustaceans. Especially when paired with other types of seafood such as calamari or mussels, the flavor combinations can be truly delightful. The mild yet distinct flavor is what makes these shellfish such a great add-on option. We pair shrimp with lobster in our seafood spaghetti. Served with spaghetti noodles, a garlic white wine herb broth, Concasse tomatoes, and fresh basil, it makes for a truly unforgettable meal.
