<h3>Mexican Seafood Soup Tips and Preparation:</h3>
<p><em><strong>WHAT IS THE SIMPLEST BROTH YOU CAN MAKE TO BOTH WEAVE TOGETHER ALL THE FLAVORS AND PROVIDE RICH COMPLETENESS TO THE SOUP?</strong></em></p>
<p>Many cooks start a great seafood soup or stew with fish stock made from fish bones or heads, vegetables or herbs. But fish bones and head are less and less available these days at fish counters and markets. So, chicken broth is the best substitute.</p>
<p><strong>WHAT IS THE BEST, MOST EASILY AVAILABLE VARIETY OF SEAFOOD FOR THE STEW?</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Always try to buy seafood that is frozen rather than defrosted.</li>
<li>Fresh fish that glistens and has a translucency is the freshest; it should have no odor other than that of the sea.</li>
<li>Fish with small flakes will fall apart in the stew.</li>
<li>Strong flavored fish like kingfish, mackerel, bluefish and salmon would dominate the otherwise delicious balance here, so I suggest to veer away from them.</li>
<li>In order to find fresh seafood look in Asian Markets. Their clientele is very demanding when it comes to the fruits of the sea.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>WHAT IS THE RIGHT BALANCE OF INGREDIENTS FOR SEAFOOD SOUP RECIPE?</strong></p>
<p>The richest seafood soups and stews are created with a variety of seafood with the addition of some vegetables, tomato, and herbs. And hot pepper, of course, accelerates your enjoyment.</p>
<h3>NUTRITIONAL FACTS FOR SEAFOOD:</h3>
<ul>
<li>It has long been scientifically proven that there is enormous nutritional value in seafood.</li>
<li>Seafood can prevent anemia and helps to fortify the immune system.</li>
<li>It protects against the onset of cardiovascular disease.</li>
<li>One important study has revealed that consumers of seafood in contrast to strict vegetarians- have higher concentrations omega 3 acids (which are good friends to the heart and blood vessel) and significantly lower levels of cholesterol and triglycerides.</li>
<li>Besides protecting the heart, seafood is an incredible, rich source of vitamins, for example, contains quite a lot of B12, and essential minerals that are important to good health.</li>
<li>It is a telling fact that some elderly people who have been diagnosed with a condition of senility have been treated with B12 with positive results.</li>
<li>Seafood is rich in iron, and the body is known to better absorb iron when it is accompanied by a source of vitamin C. That is why it is always a good idea to include vegetables such as broccoli, carrots, garlic or onions to the menu.</li>
