Cooking Tips
Sea cocktail is sold in 2 types: raw-frozen and boiled-frozen. It is enough to defrost and warm up boiled-frozen (using a pot of water, a frying pan with oil or a microwave), raw-frozen must be cooked.
When choosing a sea cocktail, pay attention to the type of seafood: the pieces should be approximately the same size, without ice chips. Not only the weight of the cocktail is important, but also the net weight, which determines how much water is added to the seafood before freezing. The smaller the difference between the net weight and the final weight, the better.
When cooking, the weight of a sea cocktail is halved, so after cooking, in addition to the cocktail, you can add peeled shrimp and squid, it is better to cook them separately.
If the sea cocktail has a smell, then it is recommended to add greens and celery when cooking, and add garlic sauce when serving.
A large amount of water for cooking is not needed: just enough water to cover the seafood.
Boiled seafood tends to dry out instantly, so it is better to pour it over with oil or sauce right away.
