Refreshing Thai Seafood Salad

Wed, 14 Mar 2001 13:32:06 -0500

I made this recipe myself but I'm not sure what kind of cuisine it is. I titled it 'Thai' because the ingredients and the combination of them are mainly Thai. -- posted by Carmen Chan

Seafood risotto

Mon, 03 Jun 2002 20:50:50 -0400

This is based on a recipe in the Omaha paper from an Irish priest (See, we Irish can cook!) I changed it to suit my tastes better - obviously, the types of seafood you use is easily altered to fit your tastes. -- posted by ChrisMc

Paella Panamanian Style

Mon, 24 Jun 2002 21:03:40 -0400

Regional style fish meat and rice dish. Unlike it's Spain counter part this recipe is flavored with tomato rather than saffron making it quite different. Any good Mexican pork sausage would do for the Panamanian, and if you can't find a Spanish pork sausage, try an andouille sausage, Italian sausage or chorizo combinations. Anything except American breakfast sausage! -- posted by 1Steve

Tomatoed Squid

Thu, 11 Jul 2002 19:47:37 -0400

Another squid lovers dish. Squid is a very Australian food as there are so many caught. Every time I go fishing I catch at least 2-3 squid. The main difficulty with squid is making sure that they are tender. I would suggest serving this dish with rice. -- posted by Ben Ross

Chipirones en su tinta (Stuffed Baby Squid in its own ink)

Tue, 30 Jul 2002 18:28:08 -0400

Don't be put off by the color of the ink! This is one of the best dishes I tried while in Spain, and is well worth the time it takes to prepare. My friend had to convince me to try this one, but once I did, I realized it is one of the finest foods on the face of the Earth!! Try it and see for yourself! -- posted by canarygirl

Deep Fried Calamari (simple)

Sun, 06 Oct 2002 22:04:32 -0400

This is so easy! Just like the restaurants in Spain! The coating is crispy though not overbearing, and the calamari will be tender. The trick here is that the Calamari needs to be cooked either super quick, or for a long time on a simmer for it to be tender. If you like fried calamari, you are going to love this recipe! Makes 2 mains or 4 appetizer portions -- posted by canarygirl

Mel's Salt & Pepper Squid

Fri, 18 Jul 2003 20:02:26 -0400

I introduced my friends and family to salt and pepper squid at our local Chinese restaurant. Now it doesn't matter which Chinese restaurant we go to - this is the only dish that we order 2 serves of. This tasty version I adapted from Neil Perry's recipe (appears on the Australian Lifestyle channel website). I found the tempura batter a great substitute for the rice flour. -- posted by Mel Zlotkowski

Bedded Smoked Cod and Calamari

I love this dish because I am a huge fan of seafood especially smoked cod. I am on a lifestyle program of low carbs so I came up with this meal from a list of things I can eat. I hope you like it. Tip: if you are on a lifestyle program then I believe presentation is everything, so treat yourself to a restaurant dinner every night--you deserve it. -- posted by Skitzmix-julz

Fish Stew

Tue, 08 Feb 2005 19:57:21 -0500

I've served this dish many ways. Spoon it into bowls over thick pieces of garlic bread (best) or serve it over cooked rice. I've also made a tomato sauce and added this variety of fish to it and served it over linguine or rice. -- posted by mermaidmagic

Ligurian Buridda (Italian Fish Stew)

Tue, 01 Mar 2005 19:59:50 -0500

Like everywhere else in Italy, in Liguria you can find a local food tradition, simple but packed with flavor. Buridda, a traditional Ligurian specialty, is a variety of fresh fish gently stewed in an aromatic tomato sauce flavored with garlic, herbs, carrots, onion and olive oil. Buridda is boasted as the region's tastiest dish. Serve over toasted Italian Garlic Bread. This dish can be made with fresh cheap fish cuts such as; dogfish, red mullet, angler fish, drumfish, etc. You can also add crab meat or use baby squid. This recipe is a result of the Fun, Food and Friends Game #1 that was part of 2005 RSC. I would like to thank Richard, the moderator of the Italian forum, for welcoming us and joining in our fun -- And to Susie D the game's host -- This was an amazing game! -- posted by NcMysteryShopper

Calamari Salad

Tue, 12 Apr 2005 16:41:01 -0400

Gambas Al Ajillo (Shrimp W/ Garlic) Catalonia

Tue, 21 Jun 2005 22:33:30 -0400

While this is usually served as a tapa, it is too good not to eat as a main course. After trying the ones that were posted here on Zaar, I found myself still searching for the gambas we had in Barcelona. Finally I found the recipe with the flavor and creaminess of the dish we fell in love with in Spain! The same dish can be made with squid, cut into rings, or scallops. Serve with lots of warm crusty bread to sop up the sauce. You will not want to waste a drop! (Make sure you are "warming" the olive oil and the butter, not cooking it off..... cause you'll want every last bit of it for the sauce) -- posted by NcMysteryShopper

Greek Squid Baked in a Brown Bag With Tomatoes, Mint, and Garlic

Wed, 28 Feb 2007 22:42:35 -0500

In the traditional preparation, squid is baked in a brown paper bag. Cuttlefish are just as likely to be used. Both come out juicy, steeped in flavor, and with a toasty air from the baked paper wrap. Cuttlefish is fleshier and has a smoother texture than squid. If you use cuttlefish, they need a little more time to cook tenderly, about 30 minutes. -- posted by Olha

Letters to the Editor section. It was served at Charley's Place in Langhorne, Pennsylvania.I've also used the sauce over fresh scallops or shrimp that I've sauted in the butter and garlic.This is also great as an appetizer or first course.Soaking time for the squid is not included in the prep time. -- posted by Leslie in Texas

It makes a great dinner, but also a great 1st course if you have company coming. Takes just minutes to make. It's from 1996 Bon Appetit. I'd serve it with garlic bread and a nice mixed salad. You are going to need to reserve some of the pasta water, so don't forget! ;-) -- posted by A la Carte

Ika Shoga-yaki is simple but is a very popular dish in Japanese cuisine. Ika means squid, shoga means ginger and yaki means grill or fry. This recipe was given to me by a Japanese friend.

Thai Dried Squid (Calamari)

Wed, 28 May 2008 01:38:34 -0400

This came from the book "Thai Food" by David Thompson where he indicates if it is to be deep-fried it should be completely dry otherwise it will shrink and toughen. He also says it will keep for a few days if refrigerated. This recipe is how I prepared the dish using an oven for drying rather than leaving in the sun. Note it requires overnight marination (not included in prep time) and quite a bit of drying time. Makes an interesting snack although it is quite salty & chewy so won't be to everyone's taste. -- posted by Peter J

Squid Salad or Octopus Salad - Japanese Style

Thu, 13 Nov 2008 00:33:13 -0500

You could either use squid or octopus for this salad, I have trouble finding octopus most times so I used squid. I normally buy my squid/octopus already cleaned and gutted. If your squid/octopus needs to be clean then remove the guts (discard) and legs from the body and rinse. Cut off the tips on the legs and discard, then chop the remaining leg pieces and body into bite-size chunks. Original recipe comes from Harumis Japanese Home Cooking by Harumi Kurihara but I have twinkled with it -- posted by Chef floWer

Great over pasta, or on its own as an appetizer (double the serving count for appetizer). -- posted by Chef Remy #186273
