Catch of the Day

From fresh or salt waters, wild or farmed, caught by trawler or line, local varieties or imported, the explosion in the kinds of seafood available today is simply incredible. Even when we need to back away from favorites that are being overfished, the choices are still exciting and plentiful. We’re all, justifiably, hooked on the treasures of the sea!

The secret to loving seafood is enjoying it when it’s fresh. It’s that simple. And unless you have a fisherman in the family, you need to find a local fishmonger you can trust. Always ask where the seafood on display was caught—if the signage doesn’t already say—and whether it was frozen when it arrived at the shop. It’s important to know what you’re buying. Then take it home and enjoy.
