I’ve been allergic to seafood my whole life, when I eat I get really sick. Well my boyfriend absolutely loves it; it is by far his favorite food. We live in Alaska so the freezer is always full of salmon, halibut, trout, and rockfish. Here’s the problem I do all of the cooking (cause I love to cook), and he never, ever complains that I don’t cook fish, but I know he misses it, cause when I attempt to cook (and fail miserably) he praises all of my failed efforts. I’m the kind of cook that I don’t measure anything I do everything by taste and smell, and I can’t cook fish because I can’t taste it. I would love to start reintroducing fish into his diet so I’m looking for some bomb proof but super good recipes, or just some tips on how to cook the water critters can anyone help me?
It is not just fish it is any seafood I get sick off of. I don’t get sick from touching it, I can consume very small amounts (very very small) with out getting ill, but pretty much anything bigger then a quarter will make me ill. My brother is the same way, yes shellfish is a common allergy mine is less common but people do have it.

He doesn’t cook his own fish because I do all of the cooking in the house, I love to cook; my mom and I actually use to have our own catering service, so I do know a lot about sanitation, well wait I would say more then most people. Too me there is little better then the look of pleasure on someone’s face when they are eating something I made just for them. I love it, that’s why I want to cook the fish, and do it well.

My question again was about diet cooking tips and there have been some great answers

Tips for a more healthy diet?

Pritikin Recipes

Ok, so my diet isn’t an "unhealthy" one, I don’t eat much fast food, and I don’t eat much meat. What I am pretty much asking for is suggestions on shopping, good recipes and good ways to make different healthy foods. I don’t feel like I am getting the proper nutrients from the food that I am making now.

My biggest problem is not knowing what to buy at the store to incorporate into a meal….what are some good staples?

The reason I am having such a hard time with this is because when I was growing up, every meal consisted of meat as the main course, and potatoes as a side dish…My diet now leans more towards vegetarianism, but I do eat fish and "poultry on occasion" and I mostly only eat meat if I eat out.

I rarely cook with meat so pretty much, grocery shopping and my diet are so much different than the one my mom taught me that I am totally lost as to how to go about it….any suggestions?
I should also mention that I am not feeding any kids, so no need for safe foods…

The foods that I normally stock up on are:
kidney beans
canned tomatoes
fruit such as tomatoes, bananas, oranges and pears
veggies such as peppers, mushrooms, celery and spinach
pasta
various breads
various cheeses
trail mixes
and one addiction…dried mangoes

I mostly have a hard time making these things into a meal…I always feel like I am missing something, something that will tie it all together.

I am posting this again, just in a different section, I didn’t really get the answers I was looking for in the diet and fitness section…I want to make this more clear. I am looking for recipes, or even just suggestions on foods to make, using healthy products. I am also asking for suggestions on what to buy, since my diet is much different than the meat and potatoes diet that I grew up on, I am lost as to how to go about shopping andI feel nutrient starved…

if you could help that would be awesome
