SEAFOOD AND FISH

Steaming times provided are for fresh, or frozen and thawed, seafood and fish. Clean and prepare fresh seafood and fish, as appropriate, before steaming.

Most seafood and fish cook quickly. Steam in small quantities, or in amounts as specified.

Clams tend to open at different times during steaming. To avoid overcooking, watch the shells. Tap the exterior of Cover to improve visibility as steam forms on inside of Steaming Bowl. Use tongs to remove shells when opened; be careful as the steam is hot. Replace Cover after opened shells are removed.

Serve steamed seafood or fish with plain or seasoned butter or margarine, fresh lemon, and/or favorite sauces.

Fish fillets may be steamed in the Rice Bowl. See the procedure provided for poached fillets. Experiment with your favorite fish fillets and/or seasonings by following the proportions and procedures given in the recipe. Adjust steaming times, as necessary.
