Beyond the Lobster Roll: The Underrated Kings of Northeast Summer Seafood

Beyond sand, sun, and the lobster roll, the underrated Kings of Northeast summer seafood offer much to revel in this season. Satisfying hunger equates to a party in your mouth with surprising recipes featuring lesser-known seafood stars of summer. Read on to the end to check out the twists on recipes that include such favorites as shrimp, halibut, scallops, tilapia, and more. Each of these delectable proteins is available with incredible freshness at City Fish Market, 884 Silas Deane Hwy, Wethersfield, CT.

Scallops Made More Tempting Than Ever

What is your favorite taste sensation when eating scallops? They are loved for their delicacy, subtle sweetness, undeniable versatility, and melt-in-your-mouth texture. Now imagine their trademark buttery taste with a precision sear inside a taco. Fish tacos are turned on their head with a recipe featuring tangy salsa and seared scallop-stuffed tacos.

A Kabob to Upgrade Your Summer Barbecue

Would you like to add more excitement for your taste buds at a summer barbecue? Simply skewer tilapia alongside saccharine cherry tomatoes and seasoned artichokes in a kabob, drizzled with a touch of oil and lemon. You will end up with an elevated barbecue extravaganza. This is especially true if your tilapia source for the recipe is City Fish Market, where freshness is king.

Experience Stir-Fry Shrimp with New Pop

Now, shrimp need no introduction, thanks to the tasty “snap” when biting into them. Despite their sweet, lightly oceanic flavor, their natural essence isn’t overwhelmingly fishy. Thus, shrimp is a seafood classic that wins over skeptics. Imagine the wonderful kick you will get from a shrimp stir-fry recipe featuring pineapple and ginger. The Ginger-Pineapple Shrimp Stir-Fry at the recipe link below is one we predict will become a new family favorite.

A Craveable Crab Dish

A crab recipe provides a tasty fix for a craving for a crispy-crunchy vegetable. Fold crab, radish, avocado, and cucumber between lettuce leaves. Then, to satisfy the most finicky of appetites, add a vinaigrette topping with tarragon or fresh dill. It may become your fresh summer favorite, especially when you get your fresh crab meat from City Fish Market.

A Tomato and Basil Pasta Upgrade

What says comfort like an irresistible pasta recipe? Surprise your family and friends with a coastal twist on a classic dish.
