  1. I’ve never seen an Italian mince garlic, never mind using TWELVE cloves!!! Ditto rinsing and patting dry the anchovies. Btw “allo scoglio” refers to the seafood, not the sauce. The pasta always looks over-cooked. The last thing you want to eat is over cooked squid but especially over cooked pasta.

  2. Love it! I always find it funny when folks who are allergic to shrimp means I'm allergic to shell fish. You're either allergic to one of the other. Just like if you have a peanut allergy you're unlikely to be allergic to tree nuts. Also peanuts are not a nut

  3. The shrimp stock is brilliant. Shrimp shells can make a room smelly fast. Making stock out of the shells may mean the shells won't smell up the room from the garbage can

    You definitely want a durable pan like a stainless steel pan for that.

    1) despite having given them a good scrubbing – clams have even more sand and grit trapped inside, which ultimately gets released when they cook and open – you would want to drain and thoroughly rinse, wipe the pot clean before proceeding with the next step.
    2) instead of bottled clam juice – why not have used the wine to steam the clams and mussels open – there’s your broth – strain out the sediment through cheesecloth or make use of the shrimp peelings and make a quick shrimp stock – doesn’t take more than 30 minutes

  5. Saw this video, and liked the Tuscan Shrimp and Beans dish idea.. Last night talked my wife, who doesn’t even like shrimp, into this for dinner. Then the only shrimp we had on site were some nasty precooked frozen ones way in the back of our freezer, and guess what.. it STILL turned out to be wonderful!! We did the crusty toasted baguette with it which of course didn’t hurt!

  6. The linguini dish looked good even though I don’t really care for seafood much. I wish all those ingredients were mise en place in my kitchen. Sounds like it’d take me all day to prep. My hubby loves seafood so maybe one day I’ll take all day to cook it. Lol 😝

  7. My son has recently become pescatarian and I love cooking for him, but it's become difficult with his dietary changes. This is perfect! I always cooked beans with some kind of pork, being from the south. This will be something we can both enjoy, thanks so much, can't wait to try it!
