Is Raw Seafood Are Save To Eat?


Raw Seafood


Keeping it Safe: from Market to Mealtime 

Follow these key tips below when buying, storing and preparing fresh, raw seafood:


At the market: 
  • Be sure fresh seafood is properly refrigerated below 40°F or well-packed with ice.
  • Look for fish with shiny, firm flesh and no overly "fishy" odor.
In your fridge: 
  • Keep fresh fish well wrapped or in air-tight containers for no more than two days.
  • Store fresh, pasteurized or smoked seafood between 32°F and 38°F; store live clams, crabs, crayfish, lobsters, mussels and oysters in well ventilated containers. 
During preparation:
  • Keep raw and cooked seafood separate, including using separate cutting boards.
  • Wash hands, cutting boards, plates and utensils thoroughly between handling raw seafood and any ready-to-eat food.
Dining Out Advice
There are a plethora of well-liked raw and undercooked fish and shellfish items on menus today. For healthy individuals, these foods can generally be consumed safely when they’re from reputable restaurants or markets that use fresh, high-quality ingredients and follow proper food safety practices. But be aware of these menu items, especially if you’re in the “high-risk” category, since they contain raw or undercooked seafood: sushi, sashimi, raw oysters or clams on the half shell, ceviche, crudo, gravlax, poke, tuna tartare and tuna carpaccio.

Butter Prawns


Ingredients:

  • 1 pound tiger prawns, fresh or frozen
  • 1 cup oil, for poaching prawns
  • 1 stick (4 ounces) unsalted butter
  • 1 sprig curry leaves, or to taste (each sprig has about 16 leaves)
  • 1 teaspoon Chinese rice wine or dry sherry
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon chili paste with garlic, or to taste
  • 3 tablespoons unsweetened coconut milk
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish

Method:

Rinse the prawns under warm running water and pat dry with paper towels. Remove the shells from the prawns but leave on the tails.

Heat 1 cup oil to 350 degrees. When the oil is hot, add the prawns. Briefly cook the prawns in the hot oil until they turn pink (about 1 minute). Remove and drain on paper towels.

Melt the butter in a wok or heavy frying pan over medium-high to high heat. Add the curry leaves. Cook briefly, then stir in the oil-poached prawns, Chinese rice wine, sugar, and chile paste.

Stir-fry for about 2 minutes, then add the coconut milk. Heat through. Taste and sprinkle with black pepper, if desired. To serve, garnish the butter prawns with the chopped cilantro leaves.

Thai Seafood Soup (Tom Yum Malay)

Ingredients:

  • 6 cups good-tasting chicken stock
  • 12 medium raw shrimp, shells removed
  • Other seafood of your choice: fresh mussels, scallops, crab, or sliced fish fillet (up to 1 handful of each)
  • 1 stalk minced lemongrass*, OR 2.5 to 3 Tbsp. frozen or bottled prepared lemongrass (or see substitutions list)
  • 2 kaffir lime leaves*
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp. galangal OR ginger, grated
  • 1-2 sliced red chilies OR 1-2 tsp. Thai chili sauce*
  • optional: handful of fresh mushrooms, sliced thinly
  • 1 medium tomato, cut into thin strips
  • other optional vegetables: handful baby bok choy
  • 1/2 can (14 ounce) thick coconut milk (not 'lite')
  • 2 Tbsp. fish sauce * (if you don't like the smell of fish sauce, see substitutions list below)
  • 1 Tbsp. soy sauce
  • juice of 1 lime
  • 1 tsp. sugar
  • 1/4 cup fresh coriander (cilantro), roughly chopped

Preparation:

  1. Pour stock plus lemongrass and lime leaves in a deep soup pot over medium-high heat. If using fresh lemongrass, also add the upper stalk pieces for extra flavor. Bring to a boil.
  2. Add garlic, galangal/ginger, chili, and mushrooms (if using). Reduce heat to medium and simmer 2-3 minutes, or until mushrooms are soft.
  3. Add the shrimp, any other seafood you're using, and tomato plus baby bok choy (if using). Simmer over medium heat 3-4 minutes, or until shrimp turns pink and plump and mussels have opened. Scallops, crab, and fish should all be firm to the touch and no longer translucent.
  4. Reduce heat to medium-low and add the coconut milk, fish sauce, soy sauce, lime juice, and sugar. Stir well to combine and gently simmer until hot (do not boil at this point). Taste-test the soup for salt and spice, adding more fish sauce instead of salt (I usually add 1 more Tbsp.), or more chili as desired. If too sour, add more sugar. If too spicy for your taste or if you'd like it creamier, add more coconut milk. If too salty, add another squeeze of lime juice.
  5. Serve in bowls with fresh coriander sprinkled over. For an extra hit of flavor, you can also add some Thai chili sauce, either store-bought or the homemade version: Nam Prik Pao Chili Sauce Recipe. ENJOY!

  • 1 pinch white pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons light soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2.5cm ginger, cut into thin strips
  • 2 stalks coriander leaves, cut into 3cm lengths
  • 1 small lemon, slice in rings

Directions

Preparation:10min  ›  Cook:20min  ›  Ready in:30min 

  1. Clean the fish and season with salt and white pepper. Place fish on lightly oiled glass plate.
  2. Quickly whisk the soy sauce, fish sauce and sesame oil together then pour the sauce over the fish.
  3. Sprinkle the strips of ginger and half of the coriander leaves over the fish. Arrange a few slices of lemon on top.

Crispy Deep Fried Sotong (Calamari)

Ingredients:

4 large squids

1/2 cup plain flour

1/2 cup corn flour

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp ground black pepper

pinch of paprika and cayenne pepper
vegetable oil for deep frying

Method:

1. Wash the squid and remove the tentacles. Clean out the inside of the squid and pull out any remaining intestines and the hard membrane. Cut out the squid's beak and eyes. This can be a bit squishy but it's easier just to but below the eyes. Cut the squid into 1cm rings and half the tentacles.  Dry the squid with clean tea towel and make sure all the moisture dried out. 

2. Prepare the other ingredients in a bowl. Toss the squid in the flour mixture and set it aside.

3. Heat the oil for deep frying. The oil has to be really hot to get the squid to be crispy. You'll have to cook it really fast in the hot oil. Shake off any excess flour and add the squid in small batches to the oil so that it will be crispy. Cook until is is golden and crispy. It should take about a 1-2 mins. Remove it and drain over paper towels. You can serve it with all types of sauces but our favourite is mayonnaise.

SAFETY FIRST: SEAFOODS

Follow this simple Guidelines... 

  1. Eat up to 12 ounces (two six-ounce servings) per week of a variety of seafood that is lower in mercury, such as shrimp, canned light tuna or salmon.
  2. If you like albacore tuna, make that your only serving of fish for the week. Albacore tuna has more mercury than canned light tuna. 
  3. Avoid eating large fish, such as swordfish or king mackerel, since bigger fish tend to have the highest levels of mercury. These fish can’t eliminate mercury as fast as they take it in. All women of childbearing age and children should avoid eating these types of fish.
  4. When you’re doing your own fishing, check local advisories about the safety of fish caught in local lakes, rivers and coastal areas. If no advice or informative is available, eat only six ounces of fish caught from local waters and then don’t consume any other fish during the week.
  5. When preparing a fish caught yourself, it is important to clean the fish by trimming away the skin and fatty tissue. This helps reduce the pollution in the fish.
In conclusion, as long as you follow the guidelines to eating seafood safely, the health benefits to eating seafood will far outweigh the risks from mercury.
