Seafood Tools for Backyard BBQs and Gourmet Dinners
In addition to being incredibly delicious, seafood offers a number of health benefits. In fact, since it's high in protein, low in saturated fat, and packed with nutrients like omega-3s and vitamins A and B, health experts recommend eating seafood at least twice a week. Fortunately, there are plenty of simple recipes that will help you to incorporate a little extra fish into your diet, and having a few specialty kitchen tools on hand will make things even easier. In addition to all of the seafood tools you could possibly need, Williams Sonoma has a curated collection of gourmet seafood rubs and seasonings as well as a selection of premium fish and shellfish which you can have shipped direct to your door. Whether you're planning to throw some salmon on the grill, whip up a hearty cioppino, wow your loved ones with a seafood tower or host a casual clam bake, you'll find that Williams Sonoma has everything you need for your seafood feast.
Seafood Crackers and More
The type of seafood tools you need will depend on the types of fish that you plan to cook and how you plan to cook them. If you think you'll primarily be cooking fish filets, for example, your first purchase should be a fish spatula. Thinner and more flexible than a traditional spatula, these handy tools allow you to flip, turn and move your fish without damaging the delicate flesh. Of course, they are also versatile enough to use with pancakes, burgers and more. If your seafood plans include lobster, crab and oysters, you'll want to add seafood crackers and an oyster knife to your arsenal of cook's tools. Finally, if you love to barbecue, you'll want to be sure to check out Williams Sonoma's grill accessories that will help ensure that your fish is cooked perfectly every time. Read on for more about some of the seafood tools available at Williams Sonoma.
