I have 2 ideas

A seafood pie, mix them into a white sauce, add a mashed potato topping and bake until top in golden brown.

A stir fry with some sesame oil and soy sauce and served with noodles.

[buckytom]

what about zuppa di pesce, or cioppino?

or do them thai style like a tom yum soup.

or japanese in noodle and seaweed soup.

How about a seafood gumbo?

from the pix I can ID shrimp, squid rings, and (fake?) crab/lobster.

last night I overboarded on a "fish chowda" - it was really good.

6 qt pot. heated
6 strips of bacon, chunked, sauted crisp; keep the fat
add one large yellow onion, halved, quartered, sliced
3 stalks celery, sliced
salt pepper
cook that batch till soft

peel & half-inch cube three med/large low starch potatoes (I had reds on hand)
add water, 8 ounces light cream
add potato cubes
add bay leaf
bring to medium simmer; cook until potatoes are tender
check salt/pepper
add Old Bay

chuck in seafood last - simmer 10-15 minutes max - do not over cook the seafood.

I had perch filets, haddock, flounder, pollack, and a handful of the small bay scallops. (about 0.4 lbs each)

gotta say, the pollack was very wasteful - a _lot_ of hard to appreciate bones/cartilage - by the time I excised the bones / nasty seeming bits, didn't have a lot of fish flesh left.

I used to buy that mix all the time!!! My 3 favorite ways of enjoying it were in either a cream/Alfredo-type or spicy tomato-type sauce over linguini or fettucine pasta, or in a Thai-spiced stirfry over rice or Asian noodles.

Wow!!!!! Awesome ideas!!!!!!!!!!!!

Im mixing different ideas together.

Tomato sauce
saute the seafood with butter, olive oil, garlic, onions, capers, anise, white wine and..... I think thats it.

Paella was the first thing that came to mind. I see you have two bags. If you haven't used it all yet, here are some ideas:

Here it is!!! :mrgreen: It was veeeeeeeeeery good too!! :a1:

Forgot - I've also used this mix to make a sort of "pseudo" paella. Just lightly sauteed the mix with lots of chopped garlic, some diced onion & roasted red pepper in extra-virgin olive oil, add some white wine, canned or frozen artichoke hearts, crushed red pepper flakes, etc., & serve over yellow rice.
