Sauted Crab Appitizer Recipe with Lemongrass

Blue Crab is a great meal.  There are some things you should know when buying and preparing crab. Do not buy or cook dead blue crabs. You can buy blue crabs either raw or cooked in the shell. Blue crabs bought in markets usually range from 5 inches to 6 inches long and are sold by the dozen or by the bushel. Under no circumstances should live blue crabs and cooked blue crabs touch each other. Live crabs may contain bacteria that could contaminate the cooked crab. For the same reason, never put cooked crabs back into the bushel basket in which they were purchased alive. One 6-ounce steamed crab yields about 3 ounces of picked crabmeat.

An easy solution is to put your fish in aluminum foil before putting it on the grill. You can add seasonings in the foil which will cook into the fish. Cooking in foil adds an extra minute or two to cooking time, depending on the temperature of your grill.

Mahi with Rum Recipe

Don’t put just any rum in this dish. Be creative. There are many different kinds of rum, and each can add a slightly different flavor. Dark rums have more flavor. Try Appleton from Jamaica, Casique from Venezuela, Pussers from Tortola in the British Virgin Islands, and Myers from Jamaica. And never forget this advice from the legendary Cajun Justin Wilson, “If you wouldn’t drink it, don’t put it in your food!”

Redfish Parmesan Recipe

Parmigiano-Reggiano is a hard, granular cheese, named after the Italian areas that produce it: Parma, Reggio Emilia, Modena, Bologna, Emilia-Romagna, and Mantova. Better known in English as Parmesan, a name which actually refers to any cheeses imitating real Parmesan, those in the know are aware that only cheeses that originate in the above mentioned areas of Italy are true Parmesan, much as only wine that originates in the Champagne region of France can really be called Champagne. Produced in wheel size blocks, the cheese is softer in the middle than near its edge. The harder edge produces the dry, grated cheese which Americans are most familiar.
