Deviled Clams

Southern seafood cooking developed naturally. 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.

Choice Fish Cakes

For flaking, fish is usually poached or steamed. Then the meat is flaked away from the bone with a fork. Leftover fish from an earlier meal can also be used to make flaked fish. Mariner's Menu shares a recipe for Choice Fish Cakes.

Steamed Flounder with Shrimp Sauce

An easy way to enhance simply prepared seafood is to use a sauce, butter or marinade. Delicious fish can be made even better by adding a basic, easy-to-prepare dressing. Butters and sauces also add eye appeal, particularly to steamed or poached fish. Remember that you want to bring out natural flavors, not disguise them. Avoid heavy sauces that cover up the true taste of the seafood. Mariner's Menu shares a recipe for Steamed Flounder with Shrimp Sauce.

Fried Shrimp

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.

Seafood Pizza

Using flaked fish helps vary the use of fish in your menu. Rather than cooking and serving individual pieces of fish, occasionally flaking the fish combining it with other favorite ingredients can make a great new recipe. Mariner's Menu shares a recipe for Seafood Pizza.
