WELCOME to our Premier Issue

Everybody at Simply Seafood® has one thing in common: We love seafood. But we also know it can be more than a little frustrating trying to duplicate some of those wonderful meals you get in good seafood restaurants. Where do you get seafood of that quality? How long should you cook it? And exactly what was in that sauce?

That’s why we started Simply Seafood magazine in 1990. We already had publications for the commercial fishing and seafood industries, but we knew consumers had nowhere to turn to learn how to enjoy seafood. We figured with our knowledge we could make seafood easy. And for eight years we did, netting a few magazine awards along the way. more

It’s Summertime and the GRILLING is Easy

But not everyone realizes just how easy it is to grill seafood. Take shellfish, for example.

Clams, mussels and oysters are a snap on the grill, just place on a medium hot fire and cook until opened. (Be sure to position oysters with the deep side of the shell down so they simmer in their own juices.) The smoky fire will give these marvelous mollusks a great flavor when you dip their meats in a savory sauce. more

Summer, SALSAS and Seafood

It seems to good to be true: chop, stir and enjoy. But that’s what salsas are all about. Salsas are particularly great during mid and late summer, when fruits and vegetables are at their peak. And that just happens to be the time when none of us wants to spend anymore time in a hot kitchen then we have to. Salsa and seafood are a perfect summer match. All you need to do is grill up some of your favorite fish, toss together a few ingredients and enjoy some amazingly quick meals that are healthy and delicious. more

Savory Summer CLAMBAKES

Sunny days and lots of fresh seafood make summer the prime time for entertaining. So bring out the shellfish and bring on the clambakes. No matter where you live, a clambake makes a great summer party. While traditional clambakes are associated with sand and surf, your kitchen or patio can work just as well. All you need are the right ingredients and some good friends (with big appetites). more
