All this talk about seafood by the mom’s who met last Sunday at Dampa sure got me hungry. It didn’t help that I saw wonderful pictures of their food.

See, I am not a cook - I don’t even know how to cook rice without using the rice cooker so I rely mostly on chefs and take outs! Good thing here in Cebu we have our very own Sutukil for delicious mouth watering seafood dishes!

I stumbled upon The Great American Seafood Cook-Off, presented by the Louisiana Seafood Promotion and Marketing Board featured top chefs from around the nation cooking with domestic, sustainable seafood from their home state. cook off

Look at this masterpiece! *Drool* It’s called Texas Gulf Shrimp by Chef Mark Holley of Texas. The dish is over hominy cakes with heirloom tomato relish drizzled with prickly pear gastrique. I like this one because it has been deglazed with tequila for a bit of kick to it!

Of course you can opt not to put it into the dish if you don’t like. But that’s just me. I love the twist into the dish. I will surely try to make one in the future.

If you see me eat seafood dishes you’d wonder where I put all those food because I can surely eat like a guy! The great thing about using domestic seafood is that they are healthy, fresh and fairly inexpensive. Aside from the very great taste of course, seafood is good for our heart because it is not fatty and full of oil. But that also depends on the dish and the expertise of the chef preparing the dish.
