Introduction
I love seafood, and if you purchased this book, then I know you have a great love for it too.
Making the best seafood dishes comes across as something intimidating; hence, we leave this treat to the experts to make. And once you hit the restaurants, youre sure to spend an arm and a leg for a tasty treat.
Well, no more to that! This cookbook aims at pleasing you to the best with easy-to-make and fantastic seafood dishes while saving your wallet from big spending.
Getting seafood in itself from the fishermans market may be pricey; hence, it gives us a reason to enjoy the luxury during celebrations after all, arent occasions meant for splurging? Secondly, it is wise that we prepare our dishes by ourselves than spend double or more costs at restaurants.
In my quest to open your world to amazing seafood recipes, I share thirty of my best-enjoyed seafood dishes in this cookbook. The recipes use available types at your local market for convenience while using affordable and straightforward ingredients to create delights.
I assure you of many lip and finger-licking moments with these foods.
Now, grab your basket bags, and lets head shopping for some freshly caught seafood. Next, put on your apron and lets whip up some seafood treats like never before. You bet its going to be fantastic!
I look forward to so much enjoyment for you these festive periods as I welcome you to my Indelible Seafood for Festivities Cookbook.

At home, we swap trout for salmon sometimes because of its gamey taste and for a difference. Home-smoked trout is simple yet very tasty. This recipe calls for a sweet bean, pea, and mint salad to balance the smokiness of the trout. Salmon will work well with this recipe too.
