What do you gain from grilling mussels? If you're grilling them on the BBQ like the picture below, all the mussel fluid will drip into the BBQ or evaporate. Perhaps I'm just lazy, but I see no poi...
Chilis are too spicy for me. Will the recipe below still work with bell peppers that aren't spicy? I'm assuming that the chili is intended just to spice the mussels. Does the chili serve another p...
Kindly see the emboldened sentence below. With a picture, can you please elaborate which are "the cup side" and "the flat side"? roasted scallops with thyme and coral butter SERVES 2 TO STA...
Does anyone know why? Can you de-mystify please? It’s a mystery to me why cuttlefish hasn’t enjoyed the popularity in England that it has in Italy and Spain, where most of it is sent after it ha...
The recipe below doesn't contain any bones. Did the author forget them? Red mullet has particular qualities that make the flavour very rich. The secret of this soup is making a good stock. Addit...
When I ate 魚湯銀蘿浸龍躉球 at this Hong Kong restaurant some years ago, this dish had no bones. The broth shown below was made from the fish, 龍躉. Do you know if bones were used? No local grocers sell fi...
I'm no fishmonger, and don't know what the author means? If you have a good fishmonger, ask him to source the ‘double sucker’ variety of octopus, he will know what you mean. They come frozen, cl...
If you Google, you can see that many recipes use coconut milk as the "soup" base for curries. Why coconut milk though? I would've never dreamed of this mix! I would've guessed vegetable or some mea...
I inserted a yellow line next to the second last para. below. Why add yogurt to concoct spicy curry? Yogurt and curry just don't mix together, in my mind. Never would I have thought to combine them...
Please don't rely on the title in this question. Part of the problem is that I don't speak any Chinese. Another part of the problem is that the translation isn't perfect. How do 薑蓉 (Ginger Scalli...
I tried to make these Chinese green onion mini pancakes. I pretermitted the shrimp. But unlike those cooked by Northern Chinese restaurant, I couldn't taste onion or scallion. For onion and scalli...
Chen doesn't write out blanching or parboiling — links to Stack Exchange, not because I like them but because these answers assist — but Step 3 below feels like blanching/parboiling. Which is it? P...

Please see the sentence beside the green box. John Bil's Ship to Shore: Straight Talk from the Seafood Counter (2018). p 241.
This is the first time that I've heard that stuffing fish with herbs and lemon is "pointless, as almost no flavour will be imparted from these trappings." I'm nonplussed! Many cookbooks recommend t...
Kindly see the sentence beside the red rectangle. I acknowledge Montreal isn't a world class city and may not offer world class seafood. But I'm dumbfound how New York City doesn't, when New York i...
Kindly see the sentence beside the red rectangle. I'm dumbfound how Prince Edward Island (PEI) lacks good shrimp, when PEI faces the Atlantic Ocean. John Bil's Ship to Shore: Straight Talk from ...
The sentence embolded below bewilders me. Most rockfish share a certain characteristic: a swim or air bladder. This is a gas-filled organ that allows the fish to carefully control its buoyancy....
If a gas grill don't heat up enough, an electric grill definitely won't. What to use then? You'll need a hot charcoal grill for this. Gas may get you there, but I doubt it. Most gas grills don'...
I've never seen this tip for other Molluscs, like Gastropods and Bivalves. Does it apply to them like clams and mussels? Make sure to cook periwinkles in small batches. That way, if you ...
According to Wikipedia, periwinkles, clams, and mussels all belong to the same phylum, Mollusca. Thus I don't understand why the latter can yield delicious broth, but not periwinkles? Don't save...
HOW TO CLEAN SOFT-SHELL CLAMS Some clams, such as steamers and savoury clams, require "purging" — or soaking — to remove naturally occurring sand. I've heard of many tricks, but the most ef...
