Tastes – Eat More Fish and Seafood!

We all know that seafood is good for us. It is good for our heart. skin, eyes, brain, hair and weight.

While attending Bocuse d’Or in Lyon, France, Maralyn and I sampled the best food from around the world. After a week of tasting we did not gain weight. We owe this to miles of walking, small portions and our nutritious diet of fish and shellfish, often for breakfast.

We spoke with many Scottish fishermen who care passionately about their way of life. Sustainability is upper-most in their hearts and minds as they fish the clean, cool Scottish coastline.

Here is a simply delectable recipe with Scottish crabmeat. You can substitute your favorite brand.

Scottish Crab Recipe
Ingredients

1 red chili
1 lime zest and juice
250g white Scottish crabmeat
1/4 mango, diced
2 tbsp chopped coriander

Method

Chop the chili and place in a bowl with the lime zest and juice.
Add the crabmeat.
Fold in diced mango.
Allow flavors to develop for several minutes.
Stir in the coriander and serve at once.

The Scottish fishermen serve this mouth watering fresh crab salad with potato blinis. If you ask we can provide their recipe. We like this salad as is, or with crisp crackers as an appetizer or light lunch. A glass of white wine adds enjoyment.
