Thursday’s Side Dish: Frozen Seafood Mix

An ocean flavor in a pinch

A quick and easy option is available for cooks who think that fish sticks are the only shortcut to a fast seafood meal from the freezer. Have you seen the frozen seafood mixes available at Asian supermarkets, such as Lotte or H Mart? The mixes contain at least three seafood items, such as squid rings, shrimp, imitation crab, and mussels. Look for 1lb bags by Ocean Gem, Supreme Choice, and Geisha. Add a (still frozen) whole bag to a simmering pot of marinara sauce and let it cook for at least 5 minutes or until seafood is hot and well-incorporated into the sauce. Serve the seafood marinara with your favorite al dente pasta. The Mixed Stew also suggests sautéing some pieces in a little butter and adding beaten eggs to make a seafood frittata.
