Chesapeake Bay is world renowned not only for its size and the seafood it offers, it is also recognized as a great vacation destination. Although fishing is now being restricted in this area, there are many other exciting things to see and do in this wonderful city.

Beneath the cold ocean waters off the coast of Maine, the nation's lobster breadbasket, lie hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions, of old wire lobster "ghost traps." Lost over the years to storms, boats — even the knives of fishermen who've cut them from their buoys to settle scores — many of the traps continue catching lobsters. Marine biologists say lost and abandoned lobster, crab and other fish traps plague coastal waters around the globe, putting pressure on a number of already-stressed fish populations. In U.S. waters alone, millions of dollars' worth of marketable seafood is lost each year. Lobstermen this winter will grapple up ... Read Full Story

Forget all the spongy, bready, fishy blobs that pass as crab cakes elsewhere. To know the paradigm, you must eat in Maryland, at Faidley's in particular.

It seems that just killing a lobster (or any kind of shellfish for that matter) to eat isn’t enough; some people might want to make sure that it’s killed in a humane way, though “humane” might not be the best word to apply to a shellfish. Enter the CrustaStun system, which kills shellfish with an electric charge, so the crustacean feels “no pain or distress”. We’re fairly sure that getting zapped by electric until you die gives you a certain...

Video Body Thursday marked day number eight of the temporary ban on shellfishing in our area. The ban remains in effect in all coastal waters, preventing the harvesting of any oysters, clams, or mussels. Increased levels of bacteria due to runoff from last week's heavy rains prompted the ban. Seafood sellers are quickly running out of local oysters to sell for the Thanksgiving holiday. The Department of Marine...

Shellfish are among the most popular creatures in the seas.  They have a distinct taste compared to fish and are considered a delicasee in many parts of the world.

Often you can substiture one type of shellfish for another in recipes.  For instance, shrimp for scallops, etc.  These substitutions will change the dish, but often are still tasty.

There are three major groups of shellfish to consider as a chef:

1. Mollusks: include scallops, slams, mussels, oysters
2. Crustaceans: include crabs, lobsters, and shrimp
3. Cephalopods: include octopus, squid, and cuttlefish

Have fun trying out some of these shellfish recipes, and please remember to post your own favorite recipes.
