Easy Seafood Recipes - Don't over think it. These are just different cuts of fish! You know what to do - keep it simple and prepare them by either substituting into your favorite fish recipes or use these helpful guides for each:
- Skate Cheeks - We liken them to perfect, fluffy crab-like pillows! Substitute them for recipes calling for shrimp or scallops; they are similar in size, take on flavor and cook quickly. Or try this Indian Skate Cheeks with Coconut and Ginger recipe.
- Dressed Smelts - They are easy to love and easy to cook. The small size of each smelt means they are best eaten with your fingers and dipped in mustard, tartar, cocktail, or hot sauce. Try this Oven Roasted Smelts recipe.
- Salmon Collars - Love chicken wings? Then you'll love fish collars. Bone-in cooking equals more incredible flavor. Use your favorite wing recipe or try this Grilled Salmon Collars with Ponzu Sauce.
- Skate Wing - Mild, ocean flavor and texture similar to a scallop or crab, skate is traditionally prepared schnitzel-style. Try this Skate Wing with Brown Butter recipe.
- Chopped Surf Clams - These hand-shucked 5" clams are found all over the Atlantic Ocean. Tender and flavorful, these are perfect for chowders, soup. Try making your own Rhode Island Style Clam Fritters.
- Monkfish Fillet - Cut from the tail of the fish, the fillet is an ideal choice for fish stews and grilled fish as it holds together very well while cooking. Try this Monkfish Stew with Saffron Broth recipe or cut monkfish into medallions as a substitute in shrimp recipes.
