Marinating times vary with foods. Because seafood is more tender than other meats, it requires less marinating time, usually about 15 to 30 minutes. If left longer, the seafood begins to appear “cooked” from the acidity of the marinade. Not only is the texture changed, but the flavor of the marinade becomes too intense.
