Snoek is a South African line fish that is a favourite amongst the locals for a number of reasons. First, it is very easy to catch. Second, it is very affordable - it is always one of the cheapest fish on the menu in any restaurant even the high class ones (and it has become wildly popular all over the world). This is partly due to its taste - salty and rich - and partly due to the fact that it is so versatile. Almost any preparation technique can be used to prepare snoek, and it is readily served as a pate, fresh, dried and salted, and even as biltong (a South African delicacy where meat is dried and spiced). However, the best way to serve it is the traditional Cape way, which is discussed in detail below.
The shrimpers from the Gulf Coast finally got word that the BP Oil Company will compensate them for their major loss in the industry by paying four times the amount of their loss. The claims that many had put in for their loss were being ignored then BP had decided to pay them twice the amount that was lost. Today with the report that they are going to get four times the amount, many of the shrimpers feel better about their ability to return to work for the new season in 2012.
Most of seafood is a proven low fat food. Present day dietary requirements indicate that it is best to reduce total fat consumption and should also limit the intake of certain fats. According to the specifications we are supposed to reduce our fat intake to less than thirty percent of the calories that we consume on a daily basis. Most species of fishes and shellfish have less than 2.5 percent total fat and less than twenty percent of the total number of calories that come from fat.
Shrimp is the one of the most delicious seafood’s there are too eat. You can serve shrimp as a main dish, appetizer, or as a snack. It is very simple to prepare seafood like shrimp but if it is not prepared correctly, it can be unhealthy to eat. When you are working with frozen shrimp, you should thaw it in water that is salty.

The short answer is a resounding, "YES!" In fact, it is one of the healthiest foods you can eat with one giant caveat. You need to buy wild caught shrimp, not farm raised shrimp. Farm raised shrimp is much lower in nutrient quality than wild shrimp because of what they eat and it contains much higher levels of toxins like mercury. Bottom line, wild shrimp is good for you but farm raised shrimp not so much.
Shrimp is very high in omega-3 which is super-nutrient severely lacking in most people's diet. Moreover, shrimp contains the form of omega-3 that can be used directly by the body - DHA and EPA. This means that most of the omega-3 that you eat in shrimp will be absorbed by the body. This is not true for vegetarian sources of omega-3 which contain ALA, which must be converted to DHA and EPA in the body before it can be utilized. Unfortunately, even in a super healthy person, ALA is only converted at a rate of 20-25%.

Salmon is one of the healthiest foods you can eat and it's delicious as well. It contains very high quality protein and the healthiest fat a human being can eat - omega 3. In fact, modern humans, especially those in industrialized nations like the United States and Europe, don't get enough omega-3 in their diet. Eating Salmon once or twice a week can go a long way to making up for this deficiency.
Most people bake or grill salmon. However, this process does denature some of the healthy omega-3 so it is no longer beneficial to the human body. The method of cooking salmon that is the healthiest and will not denature the omega-3 is poaching.

My family is from Maine, and every so often a have an opportunity to travel there. I look forward to an opportunity to lay on sunny beaches full of sharp rocks, to swim in the 40 degree ocean, to sniff its pine forests and sample its marine life. Of course I'm talking about lobster, and there is no better, or traditionally "Mainer" way to eat lobster than in a lobster roll.
A lobster roll is simple to make, as long as the ingredients are available. First, hotdog buns that are flat on the sides. I know, I've only ever seen these special buns sold in New England; they have the market up there cornered. However, I've tried this with regular hotdog buns and it's just missing that certain 'something'. You'll also need a small bit of mayonnaise, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Now, the selection of the lobster meat is important, because it has to Maine rock-lobster knuckle meat. If you look at the hapless lobsters rubber-banded in dunked in your local seafood market, you'll notice that they have rather large claws (in Maine you can buy them right out of the traps along the coast). Crack those puppies open and you have the most tender, juicy meat in the entire lobster. Mix the knuckle meat with the mayo (1/4 cup per), lemon juice (1/2 squeezed), salt and pepper (a dash to taste), throw them in a grilled flat-sided hotdog bun, and you have a lobster roll, Maine-style. Simple as that!
A Maine "lobstah" roll....just like Gram used to make.
