Seafood cuisine refers to dishes that primarily feature fish and other marine life, such as shellfish and crustaceans. This type of cuisine is popular in many cultures around the world, often reflecting local fishing practices and available ingredients. Common seafood dishes include sushi, clam chowder, and grilled shrimp. Seafood is valued not only for its flavor but also for its nutritional benefits, as it is typically high in protein and omega-3 fatty acids. Cooking methods vary widely, including grilling, frying, steaming, and baking, allowing for diverse flavors and textures in seafood recipes.
