Can Seafood Be Marinated?
Yes, seafood can be marinated just like other meats and vegetables. Marinating seafood can add flavor, tenderize the flesh, and help preserve it. The marinade should be acidic, such as lemon or lime juice, vinegar, or wine, and can include herbs, spices, and oils. However, marinating seafood requires caution as it can break down the texture and over-marinating can damage the flesh. It is recommended to marinate seafood for no more than 30 minutes to an hour before cooking.
