Seafood Made Simple

The seafood counter can be one of the most interesting parts of the grocery store - but also one of the most confusing. Fresh fish, frozen fillets, raw shrimp, cooked shrimp, crab cakes, scallops, shellfish, and prepared seafood can all appear in different places, each with different labels, textures, flavors, and uses.

This beginner-friendly guide explains the seafood options shoppers are most likely to see at the grocery store, including fresh fish, shrimp, shellfish, prepared seafood, and frozen seafood. Each entry breaks down what the seafood is, what it tastes like, what texture to expect, how it is commonly used, what it pairs well with, and simple tips for buying and storing it with confidence.
