Scallops with Orange Sauce

Thanks for visiting Gourmet Seafood!

Having created many seafood dishes for nearly ten years, I have devloped a keen since of combining herbs and spices to create a wide range of flavorful sauces and marinades that enhances the flavor of many types of seafood dishes. But delicious as these combinations of herbs and spices are, let us not forget about the tropical flavors created when combining fresh fruit with herbs and vegetables and how equally well, if not more so, these flavorfulcombinations can be used as seafood sauces and marinades.

Fruit-based salsas and sauces are very easy to create. Using only your favorite fruits, herbs, vegetabes and spices, you are certain to create a recipe that you will want to use time and time again. Two of my favorite fruit-based seafood sauce and salsa recipes are published below. And as always, not only is it my sincere hopes that you will try them, but enjoy and share them as well. Until next week...
