When purchasing squid, look for signs of freshness. Color spots on the mantle or skin should be distinct and sharp. The color of the mantle should be bright, like fresh fish. The eyes should be clear and bright and the flesh should be firm and without an odor.

To deep fry, choose a deep-fryer, Dutch oven, wok or deep, heavy pan. Add only enough oil to fill one-third of the container. This provides room for the bubbling that occurs when the fish is dropped in and for the space taken up by the food. The seafood should be immersed in the oil. Vegetable oil makes the best medium for deep-frying. Mariner's Menu shares a recipe for Fried Shrimp.

But remember that our bodies need some fat. The problem is that we eat too much of it. Mariner's Menu shares a recipe for Fried Clams.

Seafood is done when it is golden brown. Remove from the oil immediately and drain the fish or shellfish on paper towels. Be careful not to overcook or the food will dry out. A minute can make a difference. It's like that steak on the grill — give it just a few more seconds and it's overdone. Mariner's Menu shares a recipe for French-Fried Shrimp.
