what are the different types of seafood?

Shrimp are available year-round, and can be found in many forms—shelled or unshelled, raw or cooked, fresh or frozen. You can also find shrimp products such as shrimp paste, breaded shrimp or stuffed shrimp, dried shrimp, shrimp spread and dried shrimp (see below). Deveining shrimps is not necessary for safety. It’s a cosmetic matter. Larger shrimp might have veins that are contaminated with grit. This is a problem both cosmetically and in texture. While warm water shrimp may be named after their color such as brown, white, or pink, they can all have a wide range of shading. To tell the difference with shell-on product, feel for a groove or ridge running the length of the shrimp’s carapace. If it’s there, the shrimp is a brown or pink; if not, it’s a white. All three will cook pink. Gregroy Burroughs, Hebi (China) last updated 17 days ago [2]

Crayfish are very popular in parts of the United States—where they are know regionally as crawfish, crawdaddy and crawdad. These fish are extremely popular. Popular in France (called écrevisses), New Zealand and Scandinavia. Crayfish are mainly from Louisiana’s Mississippi Basin. Crayfish can be prepared in many ways, with the main difference being their size. Crayfish, like lobsters turn brightly red once they are cooked. The only part that can be eaten is the tail meat. Crawfish are split in half by the fingers. These crayfish are commonly known as Cajun popcorn. Last revised by Exavier Ruiz, Charlotte, United States. [3]

Seafood is another important food. It includes many types of seafood as well as shellfish, and even other marine creatures such as squid. While some seafood can be raised in tanks or cages, most fish that we consume are caught alive in large commercial fishing vessels. The overfishing of the ocean and trawling using large nets capable of catching everything has led to a great deal more harm than good. Don’t be discouraged if fishing is your passion. People who aren’t proficient at fishing or go out fishing with small boats won’t cause this kind of damage. Ondrea Christopher edited this article on April 21, 2020. [4]
