Seafood is widely used in Asian dishes
because of its universal appeal. Eating seafood is great for health as
it is a good source of protein and iodine and is low in fats and
calories. Fish, prawns, crabs, oysters, cuttlefish and shellfish are
readily available and can be cooked in variety of ways to make a
delicious meal. Seafood can be eaten on its own or used as one of the
many ingredients in the cooking of Asian dishes. Seafood enriches the
taste and nutritional value of the food cooked with it. As a result,
it forms an important part in the diet of Asians. Seafood must be
served as fresh as possible. Hence in many Asian restaurants, it is
usual for diners to choose their own fish or prawns live from
specially prepared tanks.
