Fellow parents and cautious fish-cookers,

​

I’m a single dad who once feared cooking seafood because it always felt like a race against time, smell, and child protest. But over the years, I’ve learned that seafood doesn’t have to be intimidating—or stinky. When done right, it’s fast, flavorful, and sometimes even gets eaten without ketchup.

​

This section is full of simple, weeknight-friendly seafood recipes that won’t break the bank or require a trip to the fancy store with the confusing ice bins. Think sheet pan salmon, shrimp that actually gets eaten, and the occasional fish dish that somehow qualifies as “fun.”

​

So whether you’re cooking from fresh, frozen, or “this was on sale and I panicked,” these recipes are here to make seafood doable—and maybe even a new family favorite.
