Fresh, briny, and delicate, with a wide range of possible flavor profiles depending on the specific preparation and ingredients.
The flavor profile of a seafood selection is highly variable. Shrimp often offer a sweet and subtly salty taste, while mussels bring a more pronounced briny and oceanic flavor. The fish component can range from mild and flaky white fish like cod or haddock, to oilier and more flavorful fish like salmon or mackerel. Garlic, lemon, herbs like parsley and oregano, olive oil, and white wine are common ingredients that enhance the natural flavors of the seafood.

Freshness is Key
Always choose the freshest seafood available. Look for bright, clear eyes in fish, and tightly closed shells in mussels and clams.
Avoid Overcooking
Seafood cooks quickly. Overcooking results in dry, rubbery texture. Cook just until opaque and flakes easily.
Proper Shellfish Preparation
Before cooking mussels and clams, scrub them thoroughly and remove any beards. Discard any that don't open after cooking.
