  • Expert Tips for Perfectly Cooked Crab Legs and Fresh Fish Selection
    Jason advises thawing crab legs in the fridge to retain flavor and recommends steaming to maintain sweetness. "Avoid overcooking as crab legs are pre-cooked." For fresh fish, look for shiny eyes, bright red gills, and firm flesh. Ask fishmongers about delivery dates and recommendations. These tips ensure delicious seafood dishes and the freshest fish selection.
