Red Snapper with Bacon-Mushroom Stuffing

Most recipes for stuffed fish call for whole fish. We tried a number of these. Although they were delicious, we always heard the same complaints. Cutting through the backbone is difficult, especially if the fish is large, and the servings usually look unappealing. Bones in most stuffed fish create an even bigger nuisance. Mariner's Menu shares a recipe for Red Snapper with Bacon-Mushroom Stuffing.

Legendary Cajun and Creole cooking associated with Louisiana was inspired and enhanced by Native Americans and African-Americans. Mariner's Menu shares a recipe for Creole Sautéed Mahi-Mahi.

If you plan to use the marinade for basting, reserve some before placing the seafood in it. Never baste cooked fish or shellfish with marinade that has been used on raw seafood. The food can become contaminated with harmful bacteria. Mariner's Menu shares a recipe for Grilled Tuna with Herb Butter.

A diversity of waters — bayous, bays, streams, sounds and the Atlantic Ocean — produced a diversity of foods such as finfish, oysters, blue crabs, shrimp, clams and scallops. Over time, a diversity of cuisines followed. Mariner's Menu shares a recipe for Deviled Clams.

Linguine with Clam Sauce

Remember to cook clams only until tender. Overcooking toughens them. Also, watch the amount of salt you add to clam dishes. Many clams taste salty naturally, and any additional salt will be too much. Mariner's Menu shares a recipe for Linguine with Clam Sauce.
