One of my favorite types of food is seafood.
From fish to lobster and everything in between, I love it all. In fact, I don’t think there is any type of seafood that I don’t like. And whenever I go out to eat, seafood type restaurants are always first in mind. I love the fresh selection and unique flavors that it provides. And since it’s not something that I have every day, it always seems like a special treat to me.
And one of my favorite restaurant’s that serves seafood just happens to serve the most amazing salmon. Some people might say that it’s too strong of a flavor, but to me, that’s the perfect kind of fish. It’s tender, flaky, and oozes with flavor when prepared the right way.
