Cooking Tilapia Fillets

Tilapia Fillets – Cooking with Florida Seafood

There is a lot to love about Florida: the tropical climate, the sun and surf, the world-class resorts and attractions, the tangy citrus fruits. But there is another reason to love Florida that it is often overlooked: the seafood. While Florida is rightly known for all of the fun that you can have here when you visit, you should also know that Florida has some of the best seafood that you’ll find on either the East or West coasts.

Finding the Best Product

Unless you’re a commercial fisherman or an avid hobby fisherman, you’ll need to make friends with your local grocers and fish retailers to ensure that you get the freshest fish at the best price. Check out their advertisements and Web sites to see what they have available. Stop by the fish counter to inspect the quality of the seafood. While there here are some things to look for:

• Strong “fishy smells” – while even properly stored fresh seafood will smell, it shouldn’t be overpowering. If it is, the fish may not be as fresh as it should be
• Filmy eyes on whole fish – Any fish with the head still intact should have clear eyes. Any film or other discoloration could be a sign of spoilage
• Out of season – Nearly all commercial fish populations have seasons. Beware any sign that advertises out of season fish as fresh
• Cleanliness – They may be dealing with butchered and raw seafood, but there is no excuse for a fish retailer to be dirty. Pay attention to how the fish is stored, handled, and packaged

Most retailers do their best to ensure the finest product and sanitary conditions in their establishments, but following these guidelines can help you avoid any accidents.

Seasonal and Great for the Grill

Now that the summertime grilling season is in full swing, there is no better time to enjoy the fresh Florida seafood you’ve found. With the combination of health advantages and great variety, grilled seafood is more popular than ever. And with Florida being surrounded on three sides by water, we’ve got even more variety to choose from. There are over 80 varieties of seafood found off the coast of Florida.

The summer months offer some excellent species of Florida seafood including flounder, red grouper, Spanish mackerel, red snapper, and swordfish. Any of these species along with the plentiful brown shrimp make excellent candidates for grilling. Nearly any seafood restaurant worth its salt will have several them available as a grilled entrée. There’s no reason why your summertime cookouts shouldn’t include them as well.

Cooking For Two $17.46 Tea for two. That's what it's all about, right? So how come every recipe you pick up says serves 4 to 6? Or more! What do you do when you want macaroni and cheese, but don't want to be reheating it for three nights? Or a couple of cookies, but don't want to be tempted by two dozen sitting on the counter all week? Creative cookbook authors and cooks Bruce Weinstein and Mark Scarbrough have all the answers in Cooking for Two. Brimming with 120 smaller-serving, big-taste recipes,Cooking for Two offers cooks familiar favorites such as PastaBolognese, Chicken Pot Pie, and Mushroom Barley Soup, as well as new dishes for today's tastes like Pork Satay Salad and Snapper Fillets Sautéed with Orange and Pecans. Simply cutting down larger recipes leads to wasted ingredients. But Bruce and Mark have developed each recipe so you buy only what you need, and use all of what you buy. Instead of opening a can of vegetable stock only to use three tablespoons, use the liquid the dried mushrooms have soaked in. If an onion is too large for a recipe, chop a shallot instead. The dessert chapters are filled with cookies, puddings, and cakes, all designed for two servings. Small-batch baking requires strict attention to detail. A regular egg can be too big for a small batch of six cookies, so they suggest quail eggs or the easy-to-find pasteurized egg substitutes, which you can measure out in tablespoons. Truly a cookbook for everyday use, each recipe is labeled as quick (ready in minutes with minimal cooking), moderate (requires a bit more preparation or cooking), or leisurely (perfect for quiet celebrations or weekend meals) to help you decide which dish best fits into your day.
