Recipes for Shellfish, Squid, Octopi and Crustaceans
I am using this category as a catch-all for everything non-fish: Shrimp, lobster, crabs, octopus, clams, oysters, etc. I’ve loved eating all of them since I was a boy; I ate so many clams one day on Block Island that my sisters thought I might explode. All of these recipes are hosted on my other site, About.com’s Guide to Fish & Seafood Cooking.
