South Florida: Pompano Beach Seafood Festival

By Mara Hernandez-Capili

On April 24, the Pompano Beach in South Florida will be having its annual Seafood Festival. Seafood gourmet aficionados and fans will surely be thrilled at the announcement of this much awaited event. Be prepared for mouthwatering delectable goodness of seafood recipes. Expect a day full of seafood lovin' and bonding with your most cherished friends and family members. Almost any kind of seafood in any type of recipe will be cooked on this event.

During the festival, you can see seafood goodness at almost any station. Do you love lobsters? Then you can definitely enjoy the lobsters on lemon butter sauce specialties. Let the chefs fill you in your squid addiction by giving you supreme squid pasta. Marvel at new and innovative seafood goodness by young chefs and discover the tasty Catfish desert in cold cream syrup. Forget about weight counters and diet plans for a day and enjoy!

Kitchen experts will also be present to teach you some basic tricks on how to prepare and cook lobsters the right way. First, freeze the lobster for about 10 minutes with the rubber bands still attached to its claws (watch out for your fingers!). Next, gently put the lobster in a pot of boiling water that is sprinkled with salt, place the lid firmly on the pot. Remove the lobster when it achieved a red color and allow cooling before handling.

Gently remove the tail from the head and using a pair of kitchen shears, cut across the underside of the lobster to remove it from its shell. Use a nutcracker or a crab shell cracker to remove the claw shell and expose the beautiful and tasty claw meat. Serve on a clean plate. Make a lemon butter sauce and serve it.

If you're an aspiring seafood culinary expert I suggest you to drop by at the Seafood Festival. It is definitely worth attending.
