Seafood Recipes for Beginners

Q: What is the easiest seafood to start cooking as a beginner?

Salmon, Crab Legs, Mussels, and White fish are great options for cooking seafood at home as a beginner. Each option is versatile in recipes and requires minimal preparation.

Q: How does the seafood come packaged from Alaskan King Crab Co.?

From the sea straight to your table. Our king crab legs are cooked to perfection, flash frozen to lock in the taste and texture, and once thawed & heated they are ready to enjoy. Our Fish is wild-caught, flash-frozen, and shipped overnight.

Q: What are other ways to prepare Salmon?

Salmon can be cooked in many different ways. Bake salmon at 375°Ffor ten minutes. Grill salmon for 3-4 minutes on each side until cooked through. Don’t have a grill or oven? Pan-sear salmon for 3-4 minutes per side. Whichever way you decide to prepare your salmon, always aim for an internal temperature of 125° F for medium and 145°F for well done.

Q: What type of fish is best for tacos?

The best fish for tacos depends on the flavor and texture you prefer. For Blackened Fish Tacos, firm white fish like snapper, mahi-mahi, or swordfish work well. For Baja Fish Tacos, mild-flavored white fish like Alaskan cod or halibut are ideal. Ahi tuna, with its rich, buttery flavor, is perfect for seared tuna tacos.
