Lately, the morning air has been very crisp and cool.  As my old bones fight off the chill, my mind starts thinking about the many soups I've eaten over the years.  On a day such as this, the old mind-clock settles on the summer of 1964 when my family went out to Kennebunkport, Maine for a short vacation.  That's where I had my first taste of an authentic seafood chowder at a little cafe that was down the street from the place we were renting for the week.  Now, whenever I'm walking by the sea and happen to get a good nose-full of salty air, my tastebuds automatically recall that wonderful chowder.  Let's make some right now!Ingredients:

劳动节当天，为了慰劳大家对演出的努力，我们一行人在彩排结束后到宏茂桥的Melben海鲜吃宵夜。到这里的时候，时间已经是10.15pm了。幸好我们来得及，因为last order在10.30pm。提到Melben海鲜我相信大多数人一点也不陌生。每次我搭德士回家的时候，只要告诉德士司机我的家在Melben海鲜附近，他们就知道在那里了。Melben海鲜不管是周日或周末，都是人潮汹涌的。大家会从新加坡不同的角落到此享用美味的螃蟹和海鲜。有些吃的沾沾自喜，有些却觉得没有什么了不起。虽然我在这里住了22年，很惭愧的是，这是我第二次到这里用餐。因为爷爷很讨厌排队，除非是在我生日时候要求，不然来这里吃螃蟹的记

Fugu is pufferfish in Japanese but the word also refers to the meat prepared from certain species of pufferfish. The meat must be skillfully prepared because of the neurotoxin tetrodotoxin. Otherwise, a mistake can result in death of the consumer. What does fugu taste like? From The Huffington Post:[Food critic] Ruth Reichl has sampled deadly fugu ("It's like eating fluke," she told me, "only you're playing Russian roulette").

Viet Nam has earned a total of US $25 million from exporting 7,700 tonnes of seafood to Germany in the first two months of this year, up 66.6% in quantity and 50% in export turnover compared to the same period last year, according to the Viet Nam Trade Information Centre under the Ministry of Industry and Trade. Germany is currently an attractive export market for Vietnamese seafood exporters.

Bacon and eggs for breakfast, a chicken sandwich for lunch, and steak and potatoes for dinner. Sound familiar?Poultry and meat — beef, pork, lamb and veal — comprise the main portion of many people's diets. Besides being packed with protein, they're good sources of B vitamins, iron and zinc. But they can also be high in cholesterol, fat and calories, so enjoy these foods in moderation. Fish is high in protein, but low in saturated fat and cholesterol, making it a good substitute for poultry and meat.So whether you eat poultry, meat and seafood on a regular basis or just occasionally, here are some tips for using these protein-rich favorites.Poultry: Chicken and turkeySelecting * Select lean cuts. The leanest poultry choice is white meat from the breast of chicken or turkey, without

This is a pretty common concern, because of seafood allergies and the mercury that is in seafood.

IMAGE: The species being used in the research is the black sea bass or Centropristis striata.Here is some interesting research coming out of Woods Hole, Massachusetts involving open-ocean ranching. Open-ocean ranching is an interesting idea that is worth investigating. If the project comes to full fruition it will be interesting to compare costs of open-ocean ranching with traditional aquaculture systems especially when considering predation and differing growth rates that will probably be associated with open-ocean ranching. However, there could be some gains against traditional aquaculture such as decreased disease and parasitic infections. In addition, fish farmers could market quasi-farmed fish that possibly influence the environment less. No doubt, some folks will be concerned wi

During Holy Week, Catholics usually abstain from eating beef, pork and chicken in observance of the Lenten Season instead they prepare vegetables and seafood dishes. Being a Catholic since birth I do observe same practice. Below are some recipes I’d like to share with you which I usually prepare during Holy Week. DAING NA BANGUS (pickled milkfish) Ingredients: *1 bangus (milkfish), cleaned *2 tsp salt *¼ cup vinegar *½ tsp black pepper *2 cloves garlic, crushed with skin attached *1/3 cup cooking oil Procedures: Cut the fish lengthwise along the back without damaging the skin.

I made this dish last month and it came out pretty good. I used big sprouts in it then, but I didn’t really like the way they came out; kind of limp and squishy. No one likes a limp sprout. This dish, though inspired by a half a dozen recipes that I’ve seen on the web, is my entry in the Royal Foodie Joust. I was going to use the dish I made last month in the contest, I decided to make it again. Becky was very pleased with that idea. The ingredients for this month are: Seafood Lemon or lime Coconut I chose lobster, mussels, bay scallops, prawns, and a coconut-lime curry. I have been venturing into the Asian aile at the market looking to prepare some Asian inspired dishes over the next couple of weeks. Hopefully this dish is a winner! Read more »

What did the shy boy-oyster say when the girl-oyster kissed him? "Awww... shucks!"Can you tell what this afternoons yummy recipe is for? Oysters!

‘TACKY’ is the first word that comes to mind when you first enter the Seafood Market and Restaurant in Sukhumvit 24. First, there’s the garish neon sign declaring “If it swims, we have it!” (which I gotta admit, isn’t actually a bad slogan~!!).   There’s a hint of the enormity of the whole establishment right before you enter – a team of cooks busily preparing dishes outside readies you for the onslaught (it kinda makes you wonder how many GAZILLION customers are there for the place to have this many cooks~!!).   Once you’ve stepped inside, you’ll feel like somebody just punched you on the face due to the sensory overload: the place is bathed in an otherworldly shade of pink neon… there are (fake) humongous fish of various colors, shapes and sizes suspende

Everything is XXL size in the Seafood Market and Restaurant in Sukhumvit 24: the place is ginormous, the creatures on offer are gargantuan and the prices are ghastly.Before you swim here for a seafood dinner, I beseech you to read my review first HERE~!!(Sorry for the weird tint of the clip...

Having my Christmas dinner at TKK Restaurant, Teluk Jawa (a.k.a. Megah Ria Seafood Village)(N1°28.606' E103°50.728')The meaning of 'TKK' is Tie-Kong-Kia in hokkien (means son of the god)! Of somebody call it Tan-Ku-Ku in hokkien (means long waiting). :)We ordered a few dishes like : Steam prawn, steam sotong (squid), Thai style slice cockle, vegetables and Hot plate Tofu (bean curd).Among all, I love the steam squid very much! The spice added was just marvelous!The environment is relax and not crowded. As you can see, there are two session in the restaurant.....typical seafood restaurant area and the romantic bridge area especially for couples or family.Live seafoods availableThe total cost of the dinner are MYR78.00. It's quite reasonable price from this good environment restaurant.

The plug is finally being pulled ladies and gentlemen on the short-lived experiment that was Nothing to See Here. Most of the content here is over at Angry Seafood except for the really crappy stuff. I thought I would transfer over the not-as-shitty posts just for you because I love you so much. This blog really taught me a lot about all the wrong things I was doing like 500 word essays. Who the fuck has the time to read that much? It makes my part easier too because now I don't sit there and wonder "how the hell am I going to write 500 words on that?" I've also gotten rid of many of the themed-type stuff only because it felt like too much of that slick marketing approach. A good example was the seats in the comment lobby. Not only was it corny and got old quickly, but I forgot who had what seat anyways. Think I gave away the same spot like ten times. Kinda reminds me of that Seinfeld episode with the rental car... "You see, you know how to take the reservation, you just don't

I never knew much about this restaurant, until one fine day, Sayang's parents brought me here. Then Sayang was telling me, this place serve pretty good food and the price is very reasonable also. It was not very hard to get convinced because, judging from the amount of people already in the restaurant, I mean it was full when we arrived at 7pm (40 tbls filled up).The Yam Basket with Chicken cubes dish, is a very standard dish to judge a restaurant's skill at cooking their food. The yam basket is thick and the when put in mouth, you feel the yam was finely meshed. The fillings was cooked with some other flavour other than the usual kung po, but I liked it. Notice the generous portion of the cashew nuts...We ordered a mixed beans vegetables cooked in sambal belacan. The four heavenly kings. Not sure why they call this dish that, but I have eaten some pretty lousy versions of this here and there. But over here at Fullwealth, they performed very well that night with this dish.Thi

I never heard about fish being advised not to eat while pregnant and shouldn't be fed to babies. Well, not until I came to the US that I heard and read about seafood that has high level of mercury. Mercury can be toxic to young children especially babies because it could affect their brain development. However, with my people back home, babies that are not even a year old eat fish, fish that I think has a high level of mercury. I think I was fed with the same fish, but nothing bothered me, nor the kids at home. We eat fish on a daily basis there if we find nothing else to eat. It is weird because here it is advised that fish should be avoided as much as possible. It must be different here because the climate is cold, so maybe the bigger the fish the higher mercury level it has. Anyway, it is just a thought I wanted to share. If you are living in the western country, do you eat fish while pregnant and breastfeeding, and feed your children under 6 years of age fish anyway?

Last Saturday, we spent the afternoon watching a movie at Highpoint, and then as it was already dinner time by the time it finished, we decided to drop by Seared for a lazy dinner. Situated outside on the lowest level (Level 1), occupying the space previously held by Kenny Rogers Roasters, Seared is fairly new on the block. We had the choice of eating inside or out, but as there were people smoking in the outdoor area, we chose to eat inside. There's nothing worse than trying to enjoy your dinner whilst breathing someone's secondhand smoke.

Homo sapiens ate mussels, made stone blades and used pigments earlier than anyone thought.For early humans, one of the first displays of modern behaviour was a sort of beach party and seafood feast along the coast of South Africa, scientists say. Artefacts found in a cave on coastal cliffs overlooking the Indian Ocean suggest that people 164,000 years ago led much more sophisticated lives than anyone thought. Scientists say these early humans would have cooked mussels and other shellfish, used red pigment perhaps as body paint and made small stone blades that could be used at the tip of a spear.The earliest previous evidence for people using marine resources and coastal habitats was from 125,000 years ago, say the scientists who publish their findings today in the journal Nature.And the previous earliest evidence for tools like the small, thin stone blades found at the site dates to 70,000 years ago, the researchers say."We do not have human fossils from this site, but they were very l

I'm in Iloilo City again. I arrived at the new Iloilo Airport this afternoon from Cebu. Bernard met up with me there and we took a cab to the city proper. I wasn't feeling that well so after a brief stopover at the old Iloilo City Hall which is now part of UP Visayas, I went back to the hotel and took a nap.In the evening, Isa Silva and family took me to Breakthrough Restaurant in the Arevalo District for dinner. I'm not that fond of seafoods but it was a seafood binge for me. We had abalone sashimi, talaba and the pricey diwal shells for dinner among others. Everything is fresh and you can catch your dinner yourself. The restaurant is also by the beach so the breeze adds to the ambiance. After dinner, we had some dessert in Smallville.

It was a full day of walking and sightseeing that day. It was the same day we went to the Sydney Fish Market as I remembered it. After which we were dropped to go explore Darling Harbour on our own. The plan was to go get ourselves an all day pass to travel around the Harbour Area.We also visited the Sydney Aquarium , which I thought was a magnificent tourist attraction. Their Aquarium is at least twice the size of our KLCC Aquaria (which we visited after coming back from Sydney, lol ).I remembered that night, was cold, our feet were aching so much after walking for hours doing the tourist thingy (walking up and down, looking lost).... But we already made an appointment with my cousins, to meet at Tony Roma's that night. Apparently there is only one , Tony Roma, in Australia, so the Aussies have to go to Sydney to try their ribs.After ordering, the waiter walked of to put our order in and returned in a matter of minutes with this bread loaf.

So I figured now was as good a time as any to come up with something better. Say hello to Angry Seafood. It is time to do a blog for fun. Shorter posts that give readers more time to comment and interact. More use of pictures and cartoons I create using the software from toondoo.com. No more blog run like a business. I will be bringing over the interview feature as well as the Licking Windows comics and some of my better essays. Just bear with me for the next few weeks. I'm using wordpress for the first time and it is a work in process. Hell, it took me like four hours to find a theme that wasn't weird, grey, blue, or boring. Well, time to go. Last one out turn off t

It has been known for decades that fish is a wonderful low-fat source of high quality protein, and that eating it can decrease your risk of heart attack, stroke, obesity and hypertension. Lately, however, there have been concerns that eating too much fish can cause an accumulation of methylmercury, a widely recognized pollutant, in our body's tissues. A recent study revealed some surprising findings that may allow us to have our cake (seafood) and eat it too (less concern about mercury). First some background - the methylmercury that is found in seafood comes primarily from power plants that burn fossil fuels, like coal. Then after it rains or snows, the contaminant is brought down into our rivers, streams, oceans and lakes. Fish then absorb it from the food chain in these bodies of water.

We must have been driving and driving for countless of hours, that night before. We left Gold Coast after visiting Q1, and Surfer's Paradise beach. No dinner, that night, just some yucky cinnamon scones, kraft cheese and Apple Juice to get us by for the journey.So reached our hotel at about 5am, and slept like logs until about 12. The first thing on the agenda was to get some real food into our stomaches. Our cousin brought us to this "famous" place called Zilver for YUM CHA...When we arrived at the place , Haymarket, we found out that it was actually an office tower with a shopping complex kinda layout on the lower floors. It was a Saturday afternoon , and the place was virtually desserted except for the people heading towards Zilver.When we arrived there, we had to get our number and wait for a table. Really HK style, and not something we see in KL. When a table that can the number of people is available, they will call your number and lead you to your seat.We were lucky, as

I flew to Iloilo today to attend tomorrow's launching of the Ateneo Alumni Association - Iloilo Chapter. Our flight arrived at the new Iloilo Airport in Cabatuan, Iloilo at 6 a.m. We decided to proceed first to our hotel in Iloilo City to drop off our stuff.Since Sta. Barbara and Pavia were along the way, we decided to pass by to check out their churches. We had to pay PHP200 for a taxi since the new airport is several towns away from Iloilo City.Before proceeding to the bus station for Roxas City, we had batchoy for breakfast at Ted's. The bus to Roxas was about two hours and costs PHP113. We arrived at 11:30 a.m. and went straight to the Baybayon Seafood Plaza in Baybay Beach to savor the seafood. Capiz claims to be the Seafood Capital of the Philippines.The food was great and really cheap! We were shocked our bill was just PHP334. The small batya of talaba (oysters) was just PHP25; scallops were PHP5 a piece; the big pusit was just PHP40 a stick; cagaycay (shells) for the soup was

Happy 27th Birthday 18 days ago! Geez! Of course not silly! It is sooo not my birthday yet (but my birthday is around the corner, so do remember my present). And I am sooo not 27 years old! Though I'm somewhat considered an adult (IceAngel loves reminding me that), I'm still within the early 20'er group. *Phew* How I wish I could go to never never land... Oh well, I still have a couple of years to learn the works of being an actual adult-adult. It's such a pity that humans have to grow old up. Sigh. Why does time go by so quickly? /me taking a walk through memory lane... I still remember the days when I didn't have to worry when my next pay cheque would arrive. Money was important, but I didn't really have to earn it, I had my allowance to sustain my so-called materialistic expenses. Life was so much simpler... School... Homework... Projects... Exams... Grades... Friends... Shopping... Gaming... Fun? It seems like just yesterday... /me slap myself to wake up from my "day dream"..

I was in Sabah just a couple of weeks ago. Kota Kinabalu to be exact, the capital of Sabah, north of Borneo Island. My how the landscape has changed. My last visit to Kota Kinabalu (or KK for short) was back in early 2006, while I was working on a project in Tawau, southeast of Sabah. They are now building (or have completed some parts of it) a fly-over which crosses over the main road leading to the city centre towards Centrepoint shopping mall, or something like that. Sutera Harbour Resort still looks good, since it was first developed in the early 2000s. There are a couple of new shopping places again, one of them is City Mall I believe it's called, and another one just sort of next to Centrepoint. I don't remember what that one is called now. For the shoppers among you, you can find out more in a fellow shoppers' travel blogs of KK. In less than 50 words, Kota Kinabalu is a modern city with a rather impressive road network and is fast expanding, thanks to the developments on t

My husband finally got me an oven as an encouragement and to let me explore more way of cooking. I haven't had the time to bake cakes yet. With my son's enrichment classes starting this coming Saturday, I foresee even less time to cook. One thing for sure, I won't be able to cook on Saturdays now.Anyway, this was the very first dish I made using the oven. I didn't want to be disappointed and so I cheated for this dish. Haha ... Have to make it a little easier for a first timer. *wink*Ingredients:2 cup Cooked Rice1/2 Bell Peppers, diced coarsely4 Prawn, shelled and blanched1 small Squid, cleaned, blanched and sliced into rings1 cup ready-made Cream Sauce of your choice1 cup shredded Mozzarella CheeseHow to do it:Place rice in a baking dish.Spread 1/2 cup of cream sauce and 1/3 cheese over the rice.Place prawns, squid and bell pepper over the rice.Spread the remaining 1/2 cup of cream sauce over it.Sprinkle the remain cheese over and cover it.Bake in preheated oven to 200C for 20 m

I have a confession to make: I’m a seafood addict! I love it all — shrimp, crab, snails, lobster, conquilhas, conch, octopus, squid (aka calamari), cuddle fish, and the list goes on….some of these you may never have heard of but you’ll be introduced soon. To my delight, every year around this time there is a seafood festival in a little fishing village right here in the Algarve. Olhao is a historic fishing village just 7km, East of Faro and their “Festival do Marisco” has become famous worldwide. The Annual “Festival do Marisco” in Ohlao, is now in its 22nd year of providing grilling, stewing and steaming bliss for us seafood zealots. This finger licking fun-filled event kicked off Friday, August 10th and will continue through Wednesday, August 15th. We won’t be missing this one; Moses and I will be at the festival on Wednesday, August 15th. If you’re planning on being there, let us know, we would love to get together over some freshly grilled tigers and a Sup

China has banned Indonesian seafood after checks turned up dangerous contamination, the Beijing government's food regulator said. Indonesian authorities called the move an apparent reaction to an Indonesian ban on some tainted Chinese products.The announcement did not cite any specific seafood products but the Chinese administration said Indonesian products have been found to contain mercury and cadmium, metals that can accumulate in water and soil from burning garbage, mining or other industrial processes. Both contaminants also have been linked to nerve damage, cancer, and other health problems.Martani Huseini, a senior official at Indonesia's Department of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries, said Chinese move appeared to be a reaction to an import ban imposed over safety concerns last month on Chinese food supplements, cosmetics and medicines.Indonesia News Blog: http://indosnesos.blogspot.com

Many thanks to Annie from the New England Aquarium for letting me know about their "Celebrate Seafood" dinner series focused on sustainable seafood. Do you guys remember reading an article last November about how we're going to run out of seafood over the next 50 years? An article was published in Science and there were local news articles everywhere covering it. Here's a link to a BBC article from that time (here).I'm a huge seafood lover. I drove up to Rockport a few weeks ago to get some lobster and do some kayaking. I'm planning on still being around in 2050, and life would suck if there was no seafood left. So everyone do your part to at least be educated on the situation and what alternatives are available.This Tuesday, July 31st, the dinner series will feature Barramundi, an ocean-friendly replacement for Chilean sea bass. BTW, the real name for Chilean Sea Bass is Patagonian Toothfish - just a little bit of trivia for you. My head is full of useless trivia. Click
