Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley outlined a three-step plan Thursday to revive the Chesapeake Bay's native oyster population, which has languished for years at just 1 percent of historic numbers. The governor, saying a new restoration strategy is long overdue, pointed out that a combined $39 million investment by state and federal governments has been made between 1994 and 2007, with no improvement to oyster numbers. For too long, O'Malley said, the state has been "literally chasing our own... Read Full Story
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... Read Full Story

This Greek Spiced Baked Shrimp Recipe is lots of places on the Internet. To me the combination sounded intriguing and possibly gross, but several food sites sing its praise. The recipe includes Shrimp, Feta, Dill and Cinnamon among other things. The way some raved about it made me want to try it. So I finally made it and wasn’t impressed. It’s not bad, but it’s not really good either. With all due respect, I won’t be making it ”again and again” like too many exclaim.

My daughter has been watching THE DEADLIEST CATCH and since we’d never really tried King Crab Legs, I decided to pick up some at Costco. Since they had some great-looking mussels which we all love, I picked up a bag of those as well.
What’s the best way of cooking mussels, clams, crabs, lobster, etc.? Well, I’m a big fan of steaming since it keeps them moist, is quick and relatively easy. My favorite way to steam them is with beer and here’s the recipe for you to try out!

The recipe and Shrimp preparation is linked below. Unlike the Shrimp, the Chicken is covered with foil while baking, then removed to another pan to broil until browned (approx. 5 minutes) before serving.
Here I used wings, thighs and legs, since the breasts were used for another recipe. The Shrimp is only cooked for 20 minutes uncovered, but the Chicken was cooked at a lower temperature, 375 ° for 55 minutes. Both recipes made tender, tasty meat.
I just love the flavors in this... Read Full Story
