How I Season Seafood

My new approach to seasoning fish and other types of seafood is to omit citric acid from the marinade then adding it during or after the cooking process. This approach results in a delicious and perfectly cooked end product.

These are the ingredients for my marinade:

1 bundle celery
1 bundle shadon beni
8 cloves garlic
8 pimento peppers
1 tsp salt
2 tbsp olive oil

Combine these ingredients in a food process until a paste is formed then apply it to your favorite seafood. Marinate then cook according to your recipe.

Pan Seared King Fish

For this video I did a simple pan seared king fish recipe.

I have no doubt in my mind that this blog post and the video associated with it will arouse the ire of grannies and tanties near and far, but trust me on this one. The end product is a perfectly cooked king fish that's deliciously moist and tender with a touch of brightness from the fresh citrus juice. Yuh cyah go wrong!
