Fresh Seafood Combo Meals are a Great Money Saver

By Shannon Linnen

If you love seafood, then you know how hard it can be to find a great fillet or whole fresh fish, especially if you're not buying direct from a fisherman. Sure, every grocery store has a seafood section, but most of what they have is frozen and low quality. And what they have that isn't was probably caught a week ago, and costs way too much. Do you ever wish that you could find fresh lobster, grab, scallops, shrimp and seafood fillets, all for a great price? Well by searching online for a fresh seafood combo meal, you can!

When you're a fish lover, it's great to try a new kind of fish, and get to see the subtle differences in flavor, texture and color. Usually, trying more than one kind can be too expensive, but with a fresh seafood combo meal, you can try between two and five different kinds of fish, and experience many different types at once. It's a great way to show off your skills for your seafood loving friends and family. You'll also know that the seafood is fresh, which means it tastes its best when you eat it.

Seafood in a restaurant is usually way too expensive, and often over cooked. Who wants to pay 40 dollars for a tuna steak that's over done? No one does, which is why it makes sense to make it for yourself. But finding a quality tuna steak far away from the coasts can be a daunting task. That's where a seafood combo meal comes in. You're able to get a fresh, flavorful tuna steak, and pair it with another luxury fish, like lobster tails, making it the perfect dinner party combo.

When you finally have the freedom to cook fish at home, you can do things with it that you never thought possible. Do you love fish and also love to grill, then why not try doing both! With a tuna steak, you can set it right down to give it amazing grill marks and that perfect rare sear you crave. With a haddock or cod, you can fashion your own steaming packet from tin foil, throw in some vegetables, and give everyone a healthy, delicious meal!

If you love to cook for your kids, and want them to try lots of new types of fish, a fresh seafood combo meal is a great way to introduce them. You can try flaking off some pieces of each type of fish to make exciting fish sticks, much better than that processed stuff. Either lightly bread and pan fry, or bake for more of a healthy option. If your kids are more adventurous, try baked fish chunk skewers.

With a fresh seafood combo meal, you'll be able to give your whole family great, healthy protein packed fish, without breaking your budget. Ordering online is a great way to ensure freshness and to save money at the same time, and you'll be able to skip a trip to the store! - 16003
