    Any good recipes for Skate Wings?

    the skate wings are skinned and the cartilege has been removed (they're quite hard, wonder how some people can eat them:ermm: ). I heard that the only part that is truly edible are the wings so I "sawed" them off pretty nicely, then cut them into steak-sized pieces. I'm planning on frying them...

    Help identifying food

    Ok I think this is an Asian food but I have no idea what it's called. I remember eating it when I was in China. It's basically a long bell pepper stuffed with meat and veggies and then fryed/grilled. The stuffing inside tasted so good...:chef: Derg

    Sushi Grade?

    I have some Asian markets near my house that sells these "made-for-sushi/sashimi" fillet fish. They're usually pretty expensive and does not yield a great quantity of food...but the sushi maker there told me that those fish are like some high-"grade" fish that makes great sushi. Derg

    :smile: I usually go there like what once a few months. As a person who knows cooking:tongue: I like to cook my own food, but if I'm on the road for like 4 hours then fast food is unavoidable unless I make my own food and make a mess in my car:chef: Derg

    Question regarding shrimp

    It's also illegal here in CT to keep crabs less than 5 or 6 in. in length (I think) and during mating season and egg-diploying season where the female crabs are carrying pouches with those yellow-orange eggs.

    Question regarding shrimp

    Well, I bought a batchfull of those mantis shrimps, and I didn't know how to cook them so I just steamed it. (They say most seafood can be steamed!) They turn out to be quite delicious! The meat in the back reminds of lobster meat (not as expensive though!) and is pretty tender. I recommend...

    Question regarding shrimp

    How do you actually cook soft-shelled crabs? My family loves crabbing when I lived in NJ and we would occasionally scoop up these gooey-mess of a crab. Plain steaming works best for those blue crabs. I just eat the meat but my aunt eats the inside part, says they taste like the sea...:sick...

    Supersize Me

    Seriously? I'm not saying I believed the film, I mean there were some truths about it. The film was obviously targeting obesity and obese people in the US. Since Morgan is pointing his finger at the fast food business for making people obese, he is trying to make them look bad. A pound of...

    I saw the one where Morgan went to live in the prison for a month to see how he would behave in prison and when he comes out...it was pretty funny though, Morgan commented that "There were some nice people in prison!":smile: I would think that Wendy's is much more healthy than McDonalds since...
