Fish and Shellfish

Google defines "Fish" as a cold-blooded animal that lives in the water and swims... whereas, "Seafood" is defined as edible fish or shellfish from the sea. I guess "sea" is the key word, here. Saltwater fish live in the sea (duh, did anybody miss that?) so saltwater fish is seafood! Yay! But trout is just fish since it doesn't live in the sea. Hmmm, seems like seafood would come under the broad term of fish...but no since shellfish is in the seafood category and shellfish obviously does not swim around. Oh. 

I love my bamboo steamer just because it's kind of different and so fun to use. I'm getting ready to steam some salmon (fish or seafood?).

Oh look! Here it is! First, I added water to my wok then placed the steamer in the wok and added lettuce to the bottom of the steamer, then the salmon topped with fresh ginger and green onions.

Here's the finished dish all dressed up and ready to eat! The salmon, cooked this way, was very succulent, tender and had just a delicious flavor with the addition of ginger, green onions, and the light sauce I made using soy sauce and a little brown sugar.

I made an edamame salad to go with the steamed salmon. It has edamame (of course), bean sprouts, cherry tomatoes and snow peas. Very fresh! Very light! Very good!
