Fried Seafood Recipes
Frying is one of the most convenient cooking methods applied for
pretty much any type of ingredient or dish. It involves cooking food with varying
amounts of edible oil. Asian cooking predominantly uses coconut, palm or peanut oil;
European cuisine is known for using significant quantities of olive oil while the United
States and Canada use canola and corn oil for everyday cooking.

                                                     Examples of popular deep fat fried
                                                     seafood dishes served across the
                                                     world include fish and chips,
                                                     originally a take away item served
                                                     in newspapers in the United
                                                     Kingdom and Japanese tempura
                                                     usually made with prawns but can
                                                     also feature vegetables, crabstick
                                                     and fish. While some restaurants’
                                                     specialty meat dish is a mixed grill
                                                     with beef, pork, lamb and chicken
                                                     the marine equivalent to this is a
                                                     seafood platter, usually grilled or
                                                     battered and fried. Fish fillets,
oysters, shrimp and mussels are usually the components of such platters with fancier
versions also containing cut up lobster tail and scallops.

In Catholic countries, it is a Lenten observance to abstain from eating meat on Fridays
leading up to Easter Sunday. Fast food joints and even fine dining restaurants
capitalize on this by serving options such as shrimp and fish sandwiches and a wider
selection of seafood menu items.

Worldwide consumption of seafood has risen among many individuals for various
reasons. Health benefits of fish consumption, specifically those caught from deep
seas, have been attributed to lower incidence of heart disease, cancer, arthritis, high
blood pressure and strokes. This is due to the high amount of omega-3 fatty acids that
suppress the activity of harmful substances in the body that can induce blood clots
and joint inflammation.

Pescetarianism has been coined for those who refrain from consuming red meat but
take fish and seafood products. For those who want their meals to be on the healthier
side, keep frying (especially deep fat frying) to a minimum and instead opt for grilling,
boiling and baking. When frying, use a good quality cooking oil and drain as much
excess fat as possible before serving.
Note that olive oil doesn’t work well for
deep frying as it has a lower smoke point.

An occasional fried dish is alright and can
even be healthy as eating fat in
moderation helps in the absorption of
vitamins A, D, E and K not to mention
other nutrients and phytochemicals.
Everything in moderation as they say.
