“Between salty and bland, lies the tasty point.”

What is the right amount of salt for cooking seafood? It depends on the type of seafood. In this seafood cooking chart, you'll find the exact amount, as well as the recommended cooking time for each type.

But before you get started, there are some tips you should keep in mind:

• To cook seafood, it is ideal to have it defrosted.
• If you want to cook it overnight, it's best to thaw it the night before in the bottom of your refrigerator. And if you need to cook it immediately, place it under cold running water and remove the surface layer of ice until it loses its rigidity (in this case, since it's not completely thawed, the water will take longer to return to a boil).
• The crustaceans are cooked in boiling water with plenty of salt and half a lemon.
• Cooking time is counted from the moment the water comes back to a boil, that is, after the seafood has been added.
