Frequently asked questions

  • What are mariscos?

    Mariscos is the Spanish term for seafood, referring to edible marine animals like shrimp, squid, octopus, clams, mussels, crab, and lobster used in cooking.

  • How do I know if mariscos are fresh?

    Fresh mariscos should smell like the ocean, not fishy or sour. Their flesh should be firm, moist, and shiny without any discoloration.

  • How do I thaw frozen mariscos safely?

    Place frozen mariscos in the refrigerator overnight. For a quicker method, seal them in a plastic bag and submerge in cold water for about an hour.

    Cook mariscos just until opaque and firm; overcooking can make them tough or rubbery. Shrimp and scallops, for example, cook very quickly.

  • What seasonings go well with mariscos?

    Popular seasonings include lime, garlic, cilantro, chile, paprika, black pepper, and olive oil.
