With friends, and lots of butter and lemon and capers, please.

My favorite way to prepare seafood comes from a Cooking Light recipe, actually. It's grilled salmon with a mustard-apricot-honey glaze served with parmesan-spinach-orzo pilaf... I've served for dinner parties, Christmas dinner, anniversary with my boyfriend and just casual dinners and it always gets rave reviews - great flavors. Recipe here - http://find.myrecipes.com/recipes/recipefinder.dyn?action=displayRecipe&recipe_id=1622523

yumyumyum. and my favorite way to eat it?? ANY! shrimp cocktail, fish tacos, grilled salmon/tilapia, fried catfish, in parchment... I love seafood!

When we go on vacation to the Oregon coast are favorite thing to prepare is Macadamia Nut encrusted fresh Halibut Fillets with a Red Curry Coconut sauce.

My favorite way to prepare fish is tonight's dinner....blackened fish tacos!

Simpler the better.

New Orleans style BBQ shrimp. YUMMMY

If I had to choose just one, my favourite way to eat seafood would probably be sushi & sashimi. But there are so many others I truly love, too!

Really simple, either broiled or sauteed, maybe with some lemon.

there are so many but I think the simpler it is prepared, the better. Nothing can beat a simple fish and chips

maryland blue crabs steamed in old bay, dumped on a newspaper covered table.

raw!!!!!!!!! maybe with some olive oil and lemon and a little fleur de sel.

Charcoal grilled, with lemon and oregano.

En papaillote, with mild-flavored veggies and a splash of chicken broth.

fish and chips. mmmmmm....

Crabs, steamed, with Old Bay

Lobster rolls or peel-and-eat shrimp as close to the ocean as possible with good friends and plenty of beer.

Raw. Straight-up.

Mussels, steamed in white wine, butter, and garlic. I could eat them every day.

As simple as possible to highlight that particular seafood's profile.....although there nothing wrong to be said about a good ceviche or almond crusted calamari steak with lemon dill buerre blanc

Honestly.... I love fried anything. I don't feel guilty for this.

Grilled or pan-fried. Sometimes poached. The best is freshly-caught trout from the lake, lightly floured and then grilled over a campfire...mmm.

Flash-sauteed calamari in good extra virgin olive oil and a healthy dose of red pepper flakes.

Probably grilled salmon, it doesn't get much better than that.

Marinate some fresh tuna steaks in a bit of olive oil, tomato, cilantro and garlic. Bake for about 10 minutes per side, serve alongside boiled fingerling potatoes tossed with good olive oil and sea salt. Serve with a nice Sauvignon Blanc. Perfect every time.

miso and sake lees marinated black cod, broiled for 10-15mins.

Well, it depends on mood and ingredient, but in general, simplicity is better - sushi or sashimi for really fresh, flavorful fish, maybe a quick sauté in butter for a nice flaky white fish - but then, a spicy brick-colored gumbo full of crawfish, crab, and clams is delicious on the right day. Today: gumbo.

As fresh and as raw as possible. I do love lightly seared tuna or salmon, or plank-grilled in the summer. Yum!

If it has to be cooked, it has to be bouilliabaisse.

I prefer my seafood raw and fresh, which is why Tokyo is probably the best place to be jetlagged. Right now, I can't think of anything more enjoyable than having a 5am sushi breakfast at Tsukiji Fish Market. I guess it has something to do with the pre-breakfast stroll, gazing at fish so fresh that they look like they can come to life and eat me, but knowing that its me who will be eating them. Also, spooning uni deliciousness fresh from its shell into my mouth makes for a fine dessert.

pan seared and finished in an oven if necessary.

Pan fried, and served with the head still on. Lemon wedges, side of rice.

call me crazy, but a traditional Irish Fish and Chips always satisfies...

poached in butter, especially shark steaks... mmmm

Dusted with flour and spices and pan fried in butter and lemon

raw

Sushi!

pan seared fish with a modified muffaletta salad on top:

three types sliced olives, oil, raw shaved garlic, roasted pepper pieces, splash red wine, salt pinch, twist of pepper, and gratitude.

I don't! I'm vegetarian. But my fiance isn't, and I'd love to give this book to him! =)

Japanese sushi handrolls. Super easy and great for a crowd! Everybody can customize their own meal.

Any seafood prepared simply and dunked in butter is just about the best thing ever. Mussels are my current favorite and obsession- I've been buying the New Zealand ones that are frozen on the half shell.(Hey, I live in the Midwest, we don't get them fresh.) I just pop them in the oven and a few minutes later I'm dunking them in melted butter. Oh, my.

It depends on the seafood, but I always keep it as simple as possible to enjoy the flavor and texture of the seafood. As an example, butter poached lobster is orgasmic!

Generally very simply prepared. I usually just broil or saute it a little with some salt and light herbs. Then, of course, there's my love of sushi.

I love roasting fish, especially salmon w/Asian flavors. Yum.

Something simple I've been doing a lot lately is simply gently steaming some super-fresh trout until its just barely cooked. Once its done, the skin slips off easily for a more attractive presentation, and I usually add some sort of elaborate sauce.

I like to take our gorgeous Copper River salmon and cook it in parchment paper. I slather on some Hoisin sauce and toss a handful of julienne scallions, carrots, and fresh ginger. Bake it in a 400 degree oven for 10 minutes; and be sure to open the parchment at the table so your guests get the full effect of the aromatic steam.

Salmon with honey/balsamic glaze.

bay scallops in a ceviche

A steamed lobster, a cup of clarified butter and a couple of lemon wedges. It doesn't get any better than that.

Raw, sliced thin, a spritz of lime, a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, a sprinkle of coarse sea salt, fresh ground pepper, and matchsticks of something with crunch: celery, apples, radishes, whatever.

Raw. With wasabi or citrus where appropriate.

Scampied, but very lightly--then over biting greens, watercress or arugula.

S&P, grilled, lemon. Yum.

Nothing wrong with a salmon steak, seared in a cast iron skillet and then served with Mark Bittman's All-Purpose drizzle sauce.

sushi

Lightly seared with a bright and flavorful sauce.

Love love love my salmon on the grill with my special blood orange maple glaze.....yummy......

I think there's nothing better than pan-seared fresh tuna!

Ceviche....also pan seared salmon served over French lentils.

My favorite way to eat fish? At a tasting menu at Le Bernadin, of course!

;)

On a charcoal grill, sprinkled with some yuzu and salt.

I like it in the raw, baby.

For my seafood, all I need is salt, pepper, good olive oil or butter. Maybe a little lemon too. Drool.

I love pan-fried tilapia, served with a chili-lime compound butter. It never hurts to throw a little minced shallot in the butter either.

seasoned simply and broiled...crispy skin if possible!

i love to grill salmon, deep fry catfish, boil shrimp in beer and broil crappie

I tend toward extremes: I love either fried shrimp or sashimi.

grilled, especially shellfish, quick and simple

Pan seared then baked in the oven, or on cedar or fruitwood planks on the BBQ. Seasoned as simply as possible

I am currently fixated on blackened tilapia. Yum!

Whole grilled snapper!!

Sashimi!

I love it seared with lots of butter!

shrimp or scallop 'scampi"- whatever that means. i make a vegetable broth and add a little lemon, white wine, garlic, and butter. add the raw seafood and cook until just done. over linguine.

Steamed whole with ginger, scallions, lemon juice, and a little bit of ponzu sauce!

To prepare:
My all-time favorite meal, hands down: a whole steamed fish, drizzled with hot scallion-/ginger-infused oil and a tiny bit of soy sauce, with a big bowl of steamed rice. I'll admit to occasionally gilding the lily with a fried egg on top of the rice...but only on bad days.

To eat:
A hot calamares bocadillo from a cerveceria madrileña -- freshly fried calamari, impossibly light breading, stuffed inside a crusty loaf of bread. Some aioli if you want to get fancy, but a squeeze of lemon and you're good to go.

i love a miso glaze on fish. yum.

My favorite way? Hmm... I don't think I've found it yet.

But this is certainly not stopping me from continuing to try.

Seafood dynamite - perfectly sauteed scallops, shrimp and calamari tossed with giant chunks of lump crab meat, mayo, scallions, chile paste and sesame oil and then run under the broiler until browned and bubbly. Serve over perfectly steamed short grain white rice with lightly cured pickled cucumbers. Don't forget the sake!

sauteed squid with pepper, garlic, and fish sauce

Salt, a grind of pepper, great olive oil, a white-hot cast iron skillet and about 4 to 10 minutes. A beautiful seared crusted and perfect flavor!

lobster risotto!!!mmmmmm.

a homemade lobster roll!!

There are two fish dishes I like:
1) Baked Cod with buttered bread crumbs
2) Moules a la Mariniere (per Julia Child)

Mussels with white wine, fennel, coriander, shallot, and crusty bread

butter and lemon

sushi

sushi :)

cajun style in a gumbo or jambalya.

Growing up in Ecuador, a city of "mariscos", I love my fish (mahi mahi) seasoned with salt, garlic, and cumin... dredged in flour, and fried until perfectly golden. I plate it on a bed of lettuce and top it with fried (green) plantains, tomato slices, and a red onion sauce.

As nature intended it to be - raw, simple and fresh. Sushi, oysters, and ceviche are so beautiful and straight-forwardedly satisfying...these items make a strong argument against "cooking" food!

Broiled or fried with butter, lemon, salt and pepper. Good fish doesn't need much else.

Raw if fresh enough. If not, poached in saffron-tomato broth, or seared and sprinkled with tangerine salt.

Ceviche

My favorite way to prepare and enjoy seafood is to begin with the best quality seafood and do the bare minimum, both prep and cook-wise, to let the flavors shine.

My family has always had a soft spot for sashimi.
As for cooked fish, we love fish that can be roasted whole. Clean out the guts, descale, keep the head on, and the bones in. Season liberally inside and out with sea salt. Roast or broil. There always seems to be enough fat in the skin and flesh of the fish to bubble and brown the skin to a lovely crisp. I love to accompany the fish with a bowl of rice, sesame spinach, kimchi (cucumber kimchi is esp nice), crisped nori sheets, and pickled daikon radishes.

I don't eat it as I'm Veggie - but I did make a salmon paté that I was told was delicious this weekend for a baptism

as crudo, with olive oil and coarse salt

Homemade gravalax is what I crave.

My favorite way to prepare seafood is the way my mom used to make it.
It is a rice dish with no name. She would put raw rice and tomato sauce in a skillet, cook the rice until done. Then she would put in uncooked shrimp and when they were almost done she would put slices of cheddar cheese on top and cover the skillet and cook just a few minutes until the cheese was melted. To this day I love that dish without a name.

My favourite way to prepare seafood is to grill it. Sometimes we marinate it in a little chilli, garlic and soy sauce.

Fresh out of the lake - on the grill with a little dill and lemon tucked inside.

I don't eat seafood, but my dad grills salmon with a garlic spread.

Scallop sashimi.

Any seafood is wonderful. I love salmon roasted with miso on just about any day though.

It depends on the fish and the dish, but, for fish dishes generally, make it pan seared and, if necessary, finished in the oven

Salt, pepper, olive oil, grill, white wine.

tuna sashimi, coat tuna w/sesame seeds. drop into a sizzling hot frying pan, cook 30 seconds (or less) on each side. slice, serve on a bed of greens with wasabi and soy sauce and sliced ginger.

Scallops dipped in egg and potato starch, lightly fried, then mixed with a lemon/sugar sauce.

For any fish I can get with the skin still on (thickly cut, bones removed). I place the fish (skin side down) on a slightly oiled grill and cover the top with cut lemons or brush it lightly with a spicy barbecue sauce.

For the fish that come in thin fillets (especially white fish) I like to make cod cakes.

When I'm in a hurry, I just pan fry the fillets with a sprinkle of fresh ground black pepper and some lemon, lime or orange juice. Sometimes I add green onions, 1/2 clove of garlic, and some butter to the pan juices (to make a sauce); but most often I just serve the fish with extra citrus.

Grilled with a little bit of seasoning!

I LOVE good seafood raw :)
Sometimes food in it's essence is best!

Like other commenters, I like my seafood as simple as possible. A little salt, pepper, ginger, some good quality olive oil and heated through in the oven.

Yum!

Pan seared, salt and pepper, maybe a little olive oil. Delicious!

My favorite way to eat it is in sushi, but I can't prepare that very well, so my favorite way to prepare it is a quick cook in the oven with olive oil, salt, pepper, and MAYBE some other seasoning, depending on the fish.

Unless we're talking crabs, those I have learned to love after they've been put through an Old Bay boil, spread out over a picnic table covered in newspapers, picked by the eater, then dunked in either butter or an Old Bay/apple cider vinegar mix.

Slightly seared in olive oil or butter and topped with lemon.

a perfect sear, salt and pepper. period.

As sushi. :)

The best time I had cooking seafood was in my dorm kitchen. We pan seared tuna with sauteed onions, ginger, and liberal splashes of plum wine, while taking swigs all the while. The outside was beautifully seared and the inside was still nearly raw. Delicious.

On the pier in Damariscotta, Maine, with paper towels, a hammer (BYO), some kitchen shears (also BYO), and melted butter (BYO butter and pan, but the lobster coop will put it atop the steamer to melt for you). Then watch the lobster shells fly!!!!

Have someone else cook it.

I grew up in Vancouver, so the fresher, the better - wild salmon caught that morning and grilled on the beach, or spot prawns off the Granville Island dock in the summers. You should be able to taste the ocean!

Lightly breaded w/panko & fried

By having my favorite sushi chef create it!

I love to marinate salmon and shrimp; I'm always up for a new marinade to try, and then grill them on the barbecue. Yum! Thank you!

Quick broil on each side.

very simply! either with just a lil salt/pepper butter and lemon or ginger/scallion. mmmm. =)

my favorite way to eat seafood is fried.

a really simple ceviche; lime, salt, cilantro, and maybe a chile.

When I was in japan, my three favorites: tiny jacko on rice, sliced shikoku tataki, and when they would just serve you a whole fish and you would have to dig into it with your chopsticks. My boss ordered it the first time I met her, it made for a bit of a barbaric meeting.

pan seared with a sauce on top.

poached tilapia, broccoli slaw (no dressing), chunky guacamole placed on a flour tortilla. A healthy, delicious fish taco.

swordfish on the grill with plenty of lemon, garlic, and cilantro

raw

Butter and garlic and some fresh squeezed lemon, especially on scallops or shrimp.

salmon cooked any way - grilled, broiled, in parchment....i could go on.

picnic table, newspaper, pitchers of beer and crabs!

Grilled, with shiso butter.

ahi poke

Broiled, with lemon juice and compound butter.

Red snapper, cooked any way; oysters on the half shell or "Texasfeller" at Bonnell's in Fort Worth, TX; haddock or cod simply cooked with salt and pepper and topped with a squeeze lemon.

Sauteed with just a bit of lemon, butter, and fresh parsley.

I love baked shrimp, but we made a delicious seafood pie with shrimp and bay scallops this weekend -- that's already gotten a renewal request!

i love seared tuna!

Fresh from the fish monger or store, simply prepared with butter, lemon and/or homemade cocktail sauce as appropriate.

crab sauteed in butter and garlic.

sigh. so tasty.

Crab - stir fried in preserved egg yolk and chilis.

Fish - steamed for 10 minutes and topped with fresh ginger and green onions. Hearing the cooked oil scalding the fish meat right before serving makes me drool.

raw

seeing that i just had the most delicious crab legs, i have to say that my favorite way to eat is with my hands and lots of butter. and lots of paper towels.

poached in butter

grill it.

Lobster rissotto. Only need a little lobster to create tons of flavor!

Raw or calabash style. Depends on what you can get fresh.

As nearly everyone else has said, simple is divine! (And ALWAYS fresh). But it depends on the seafood in question. I do so love shucked oysters, with a little lemon or without. Pan-seared scallops. Roasted whole fish. Fried fresh anchovies. But given the choice, I'd take steamed crabs, seasoned with Old Bay. There's something about the messy experience, finding every last bit of meat hidden away, that improves upon the experience of its cousin experience: a well-made (broiled) crab cake.

in cioppino!

steamed with butter

Salmon cooked atop a ceder plank on a BBQ

Shrimp Scampi is my favorite......olive oil, butter and garlic.....

fish in a wax paper pouch, with just some olive oil and fresh herbs, grilled. perfect!

ceviche - squeeze a few limes and lemons and let it sit for 4-6 hours. yum!

Almond crusted salmon with a leek-cream sauce

sushi hands down my favorite. grilled white fish or a quick shrimp scampi tend to be easy dinner favorites at my house. both are super quick to make and pretty healthy too.

Alaskan king crab legs- steamed 4-5minutes, dipped in hot butter. Don't need anything to go with it.

Tuna steak marinated in soy sauce, thrown on the barbecue...

in garlic with olive oil

Panfried Bluegill is the best fish can get. (At least in WIsconsin)

Good sushi is hard to beat though...

i like it cooked the chinese way: steamed whole with ginger, scallions, cilantro, soy sauce, and some hot oil splashed on top. perfect

er...i'm taking about fish, by the way. Fave fish for above method is tilapia or flounder.

lightly grilled with a little butter and lemon! yum.

grill it on the barbeque

seared or sushi!

There's so many nice ways - sushi, deep-fried soft shell crabs, fresh grilled fish... but my favorite is the simplest: fresh caught lobster, boiled/steamed (no butter neeed). Served on the picnic table with a bib and a bottle of beer.

I like a good old shrimp boil with Old Bay seasoning, corn on the cob and new potatoes. Yummy!

In a gumbo.

smoked over applewood

whole fish steamed with soy sauce, ginger & scallions, drizzled with hot oil

Seared!

Panko, shallots, olive oil, and heat. Always a good combination...

barbecued tuna, oh gosh

i'm easy - battered and deep fried

Broiled or grilled.

I like shrimp boiled in beer and with cocktail sauce.

In a nice sea food restaurant, with a good bottle of wine, on either the Texas or California coast.

asome butter garlic and lemon

on the grill. anything from the sea is better that way.

Cedar planked salmon

Slightly undercooked

As simply as possible-also with butter! Thank you!

Black cod is my favorite,with a little lime juice and ginger.

on the grill with some lemon, oil, salt and pepper

Raw, as in oysters. Boinnnnggggg!

fried...all the way =)

sarawins@hotmail.com

On the grill. So lovely.

I'm a big fan of seafood grilled or broiled.

Depends on the seafood, but generally quick is key whether sauteeing or poaching. Broiling and grilling are nice too. I love seafood!

with fish - grilled or any other simple preparation

with shrimp - etouffee

grilled mahi tacos with cabbage, salsa and white sauce.

With lots of butter and lemon!

Poached in wine and herbs, or rolled in panko and baked.

I love how in Chinese restaurants, they steam a whole fish and just pour a little soy sauce over it and sprinkle with scallions and a bit of sesame oil. So simple, fresh and delicious!

Truthfully, I don't care for seafood other than Van de Kamps fish fillets.

Broiled Scallops, properly seasoned of course, drizzled with drawn butter and lemon. "This ain't no Top Scallop!"

I love grilling fish with lots of pepper and sea salt!

Seared scallops or steamed lobster with lots of butter!

cajun catfish

I love seafood marinated and grilled, but the way we eat it most often is "Low Country Boil" because we don't have a grill. Shrimp, sausage (or veggie sausage), corn and potatoes in a big pot with a bunch of Old Bay Seasoning. It doesn't get much easier.

fish: raw as hell
lobsters: boiled or steamed in water (use the eggs as butter for my french fries)
crabs: (get on my boat, go to Great South Bay, and catch em!) then throw 'em in my pot for steaming and use the eggs as butter for whatever starch i have lying around.
clams: get on my boat, go to Great South Bay and dig for 'em! then grill 'em with a few cold Anchor Steams and some good pals.
mussels: head to Point Lookout and pick 'em off the jetties, then steam em in white wine, garlic, and whatever herbs.

Fresh as possible. S/P, Pan seared and finished in the oven. Make a delicious butter based sauce. Open a bottle of wine with the lovely half and indulge in delicious food.

Seafood should be simple and unadorned. A simple saute is wonderful. Oysters must be raw!

I like seafood mostly as sushi. But I will admit to adoring a great smoked salmon.

Grab whatever seafood you have, and throw it in a pot with seasoning a couple halved lemons, potato, corns, etc. Pour it on the picnic table and dig in.

Cedar planked salmon on the BBQ. No question. Except maybe poached by a great chef. Either way works pretty darn well.

I love a simple grilled salmon on the BBQ.

I like seafood simply grilled, or broiled, lightly seasoned.

it's a toss up between sushi and on the BBQ. Right now at the tail end of winter I will have to go with the BBQ since I so long for the warm days of summer right now. With Lent starting coinciding with Halibut season my mind has been flipping through recipes trying to decide what to make Friday. I think I'm going for the halibut with asparagus from this book :) Thanks!

Let's see....favorite way? That's tough. It's a toss up between mussels in spicy marinara sauce or straight up super fresh salmon nigiri/sashimi.

Hillary
Chew on That

fresh out of the water and on the grill, perfect!

pan seared fresh water prawns with homemade fresh herb dip

straight from the water, scaled, fileted and grilled ..

grilled, lemon, olive oil, fresh chiles

raw or deep fried.

in a taco on the beach...man, i could for that right now...

smoked salmon on a bagel? Grilled? Raw? There's so many ways...

I am so old fashioned: I love Julia Child's Shrimp and Scallops Parisienne nestled in puff pastry cut with a fish cutter. Transcendent!

Definitely fried!

uni sushi

a whole fish baked in salt and herbs. then dressed with lemon and olive oil.

Tough question because there are soooo many choices but, a perfectly cooked swordfish steak about an inch thick on a hot grill with a fresh salsa with some kind of fruit in it like orange, mango, avocado sounds like heaven to me.

Fish, layer of pesto aioli, potato crusted either shreds on top or thin slices wrapped around, fish is seared and finished in the oven. You have crunchy texture, tasty flavors, and perfectly cooked fish!

Well lets see, I love all seafood so that's a tough question. About the only seafood I ever prepare are breaded shrimp from the freezer though since it is either too hard to find good seafood around here or I am too cheap to buy it. Everything is fair game though when I go out to eat.

paella with shrimp and mussels

There are plenty of recipes still waiting for me to try them, but as far as what I know I love....fish tacos and a good ol fashion southern boil, with potatoes, shell fish, corn on the cob and sausage....messy, wonderful goodness!!!

I love softshell crabs...prepared almost any way!

I went to Eric Ripert's restaurant, "Blue", on Grand Cayman and it was out of this world. For me the simplest preparations of fish are the best - light sear, salt, pepper and acid. And I love steamed mussels or clams with a flavorful broth that can be sopped up with crusty bread. I want this book!!!!

My favorite is what I am doing tonight. Barbeque shrimp, cajun style. Which means those shrimp won't get near a grill. Butter, butter, and more butter. My kids call it heart attack on a plate.

What a way to go!!!

With fish, the simpler the better. Rubbed with a spice blend and poached or seared tends to be my favorite!

I am very fond of beurre blanc.

fish & chips!

Lobster...butter...lemon

pasta in a simple cream sauce with artichokes, fresh taragon and aged pecorino romano cheese :) yum!

Depends on the seafood - white fish, steamed Chinese style with ginger and scallions; clams with chilli and basil; mussels with garlic and white wine; boiled lobster with plenty of butter; crabs with black pepper or plenty of chilli sauce... and the best, freshest seafood shouldn't need cooking at all.

Lately, my preference has been raw in a maki roll. But traditionally, particularly for things like walleye, nothing is better than a simple cornbread batter and then fried in cast iron.

clams i eat raw over the sink.
fish or scallops deep fried or baked.
mussels simmered with garlic,butter, wine and parsley,
lobster anyway i can get it.
lemon over all.

i'm an enormous fan of salmon roasted on a cedar plank. yum!

as little done to the seafood as possible, raw, such as sushi grade makes me very happy. I do like some garlic, lemon and butter on most of my seafood, but not too much so as to only taste the seasoning, the flavors of the seafood must be the predominant flavor.

Roasted whole fish...made by someone else!

Sauted shrimp. With lots and lots and lots of garlic. And I love Eric Ripert when he's on Top Chef.

The way I prepare most seafood is broiled or baked in the oven; the way I like it is sauteed with butter in a pan.

Depends on the seafood, but I'll often find that the less it's cooked, the better. Oyster on the half shell, ceviche, sashimi.....all depends of great quality stuff!

I am a total sushi whore- -and I LOVE oyster shooters.

my favorite way to fix shrimp is broiled in garlic butter

teechbiz at gmail dot com

good old fashioned crab legs in lemon butter, yum

Crab legs (boiled with salty water) with lots of hot butter. Yummy!

I do not have one particular favorite way of preparing seafood, but I do prefer the fish to be the the taste focus of the dish, with the other ingredients solely accenting and/or highlighting the fish. When recipes' other ingredients overpower and/or hide the seafood, the resulting dish is often disappointing.

I like to eat fish baked (if I'm being healthy) or fried if I'm not. I'm not much of a cook, so I never had the nerve to cook lobster, which I love, at home.

With butter and white wine.

on the grill then add lots of butter! YUMMO

Steamed with buttah!

I like most seafood lightly seared and with favorite herbs and seasononings

Seafood with a spritz of lemon, that's the ticket.

grilled on a cedar plank with a lite touch of mediterranean seasonings.

i love to keep it fresh and clean tasting with citrus and fresh herbs...

Simply baked with a little bit of olive oil and lemon pepper.

Wrapped in foil with garlic, lemon & butter and cooked on the coals of a campfire (at the coast, of course!) wgbc1446@yahoo.com

grilled or broiled--with clarified butter!

breaded with lime!

Salt & pepper, then grilled.

It depends on the seafood. My favorite is usually grilled or sauteed, but also love smoked, steamed, fried, baked, etc! I also don't like thick sauces or heavy batters, and prefer fresh herbs and good seasonings.

My favorite way to eat seafood is at Red Lobster where someone else does the work!

my hub makes an awesome seafood lasagna :)

I use butter and garlic when I cook shrimp.

Grilled with olive oil, salt and pepper

I am a big fan of boiling shellfish with Old Bay Seasoning. It's old school but it is so good!

broiled with olive oil or lemon

I love to eat seafood that's deep fried.

Chinese-style Steamed Fish

That's a difficult question, because I would say it depends on the fish and depends on the mood. Really fresh, flavorful fish would be beautiful as sashimi or perhaps ceviche. Salmon, tuna, and swordfish are excellent girlled, both in terms of flavour and texture. I do like roasted salmon, though. Often I will roast it with just some butter, salt, and pepper, but I also like to roast whole salmon stuffed with fennel and orange. More delicate fish, like sea bass or trout, are better steamed or pan-fried in butter and served with a splash of lemon juice.
